I went in to work on MLK day so I decided to make up the day on Friday and go skiing with friend and co-worker Owen. There hasn't been any new snow in the area lately, so instead of doing some laps on a slope we decided to do a little touring. We started at Cameron Pass, skinned up South Diamond Peak and toured along that ridge all the way to Montgomery Pass. I've never been up on the Diamond Peaks before, and the view is incredible. It really gives me a much better geographic perspective of the relative locations of many areas that I've been to before. The weather was great: sunny, calm, and not a cloud in the sky.
Here's Owen on South Diamond. You can see the ridge line we were about to follow.
Maybe tromping around in skis for 5 miles isn't everyone's idea of a day off, but I sure enjoyed it.
More pictures of the day here.
