excellent day!

Blue skies, a light dusting of snow yesterday, Marte running like a champ.
Highlight of today?
- after two 45 min boot packs ('I can do it, but you are going to have to wait for me') we (Ted, Chris, Dan and I) did the Banana chute off San Martin - which starts steep,mellows out a touch, gets steeper, and then chokes. Which means you have to point you skis and straightline through the narrow choke, then be able to somewhat control your speed once you exit into the bottom expanse (which was wide open). Luckily we had fantastic snow so it was pretty doable. But man, did you come out of it with a lot of speed.

Day before yesterday - did this massive 3 hour tour/hike to an amazing ridgeline full of perfect powder. It was alaskan-esq

Life here is about skiing, touring, skiing, eating, skiing, sleeping. Love it!
