This past Saturday Smokey and I meet up with Juni, Wolfy, Dave, Dave and Ray for a lil’ backcountry in the Mount Rose area.
It was a beautiful sunny day, didn’t really know what to expect considering the not so considerate SNOW GODS lately! Actually I was kinda expecting crappy conditions with crappy conditions…. what we had in place was Sick mofoin powder with crappy conditions!
We pondered a bit below hourglass on what to ski. Wolfman and myself noticed some fellers skiing our lines climbers right (more appropriately, skiers left) of hourglass… pow lines! Needless to say, the two Mikes, the two Daves, Ray, Juni and the subtly cracking Smokey headed that way and we’s all had sick lines with the occasional rock jib!
On our way back up to ski the last pitch of the day we ran into your friendly neighborhood tattooed man. Around that point I believe we lost a Dave and Ray, but added one of our TBS mates and one of my 24 hour mates.
Short story short… Wolfy, Dave, myself, Juni and my BONKING WOLFDOG headed back to the realities (holidays) of the world! Huck Tatar soldiered on!
Very few pictures that day… low battery!

Wolfy, haven’t posted in a while. Give me some time to work out the bugs.
Happy holidays everyone!
Saturday the 22ne spent the morning skinning Mt Lincoln, with the decent to the bowl on the northeast side of Judah and down to Snowshed wall. The coverage was good, but a little sketchy in the avalanche conditions. There were 4 different surface layers. The afternoon was spent at Castle Peak, There still needs to be a little more snow before the that mountain will be a great ski.
Granola,
got any pics?

Quick skin up to Hourglass, full eastern aspects had some kick ass conditions, slabby elsewhere. Not near as busy as I feared at the parking area. I’m back in the backcountry bitches, it’s been a long couple of years.
