Josh's Virgin Backcountry Skin

Josh, John, and I headed out into the back country last weekend for a final ski before all the snow was really gone. We barely made it! It was also Josh's virgin run, and we all had a blast. We headed up to the top of Mt. Rose, and skied down their infamous Chutes. There was barely enough snow to skin up (had to traverse a few dirt patches), but the snow on the ski down was great. Unfortunately, we then had a good 15 minute hike out though the bushes. All in all it was tons of fun, but after the long hike out we opted not to do the second or third laps we had originally planned!!

Yeah, we made it!



Kat and Josh at the top of the Chutes...so happy that Josh is getting into back country skiing!

Josh was all smiles after a fun run down.


Katharine and the Chutes.


Uh oh...where's the rest of the snow???
