The First Ascent!
Mark and I spent 3 days up at Stevens Pass last week. We had a great time but it was cold! Saturday night we skied at Stevens. The snow was a lot better than we anticipated. The next morning we slept in and I fixed a French Toast Breakfast. Then I took the dogs snowshoeing near Yodelin. This seems to be a sport that even Keli enjoys. After I tired out the dogs, Mark and I took off with our back country skies. We went from 3,200 to about 5,800. It was a hard work out but I really had fun! The snow was nice coming back down.
We took the RV back up to the 'poor mans lot" at Stevens. Mark went skiing again that night while the dogs and I took a nap. We had decided to ski all day Monday so we didn't rush up to the lifts. There certainly wasn't any Pow Pow to find but it had snowed a couple of inches. AND the sun was out! This was deceiving because it was still real cold! It didn't take long to get bored on the groomers, also scared from everyone bombing down the hill out of control, so we headed out towards Polaris Bowl. It was a challenge for me but I did it! .
We skied until 4:00 PM, ate a late lunch, and then got ready to go home. When we took the windshield cover off we found thick ice on the inside! Now that is cold! Heading home about 5:00 worked out with little traffic and then we caught the 7:35 ferry home. A fun time for people and dogs!
I'm happy to hear you are having fun!!! That sounds awesome!
