Report from April 15, 2023

Yesterday we got out early and the clouds were troublesome…

We worked what we could then came back to the airport when the weather shut us down.

Then, it started to clear again.

I ended up out there with 2 of my Tahoe ski buddies and no one else.

We skied killer runs off the Deserted Glacier and the Valley of the Tusk.

1 run was especially spicey.

Big, dark, consequential, and long.

We were pretty high off that run.

So much so that we simply skied it again.

After that 2nd lap the light closed out again and we flew home happy.

Thanks, AK!
