Where is it? You do not need to be precise... Just an indicator. I bet you are somewhere in PNW.

Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!
Your comment on the Alfa's made me smile. Looks like you still have good snow depth at HP.

S112 with 35mm mohair skins, NNN BC, 2 coats hot waxed polar white tip/tail. hot waxed blue wax on the scales. wet snow, so using cheap Fischer OTX 5 boots. didn't want to wear out my Alfa leathers. used the skins for the morning (30F-36F) up and down and only take them off on the way down at the end of the day when temps reach 40F at 3pm. max steepness is about 25 degrees.

Well the photo didn't print but it looks like Gold Cord Mine.
Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!
Right now, Hatcher Pass is pretty great. It has been very sunny. Hard crust in the morning, soft corn/mash potatoes in the afternoon. I have been skiing around 10am to 3pm. There seems to be a 3hr sweet spot. I think we have another 3 wks left of the spring snow season...then a break for a month before being able to hike up to shaded chutes of summer corn. I'm eager to try it out as I got the Alfa Guards with S112s. Haven't done any significant summer skiing in 2 years. Of course, as we reopen for work, I may be stuck going back to work and unable to do anything else...but can't really complain...I have been off for 6 wks...and looks like at least another 3 wks.

Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!
I was going to mention that this would be the year to fly up to the Ruth, with no or at least very few out of staters.. Were you climbing or just skiing? A spectacular place, post more pics.
