The solstice is a very happy time up here because the earth is officially tilting back towards the sun after the shortest day of the year! We got a good amount of snow finally and made it up to hatcher's pass. After the snow came a high pressure system which brought frigid temps though( like -20 F) in which backcountry skiing becomes difficult. If you begin to sweat at all while you hike you run the risk of getting hypothermic when you stop despite any layers you have on. That along with the high deep slab avalanche danger made it a tedious outing. But nonetheless it was good to get out.
Chasing the sun at 2:00pm
These guys were a bit more eager than us, kinda scary though with all the whumps and cracks we were getting from the snowpack.
A very frosty goose
Missed our window for sunshine today :(
There's sun over there!
This guy scared Kristen as he walked right by our big bay window.
Colorado bound on Sunday woohoo!!!!
