Backcountry skiing in Hatcher's pass

We have had some clear beautiful days lately and so we went for a hike to do some skiing back in the hatcher's pass area last weekend.

A common sight in  our driveway.

A beautiful day but a long hike to the peaks ahead.

Oe of the many mines hatcher built and operated in the 1900's.

Slow going posthole ing in just our boots but making progress. A split board with skins would be nice but i don't have 1500 dollars.

Made it to the top just before sunset.

Kristen makes it to the top! What a woman...

Nate's buddy Rob and his dog dushka.

Quite the sunset from up here.

Rob finding a good spot to drop in.

Kristen's ready for the well deserved run after the 2 and a half hour hike.

It goes so fast...
That's all for now. see ya
