Lassen Peak

Dealing with a bit of funky weather on the long drive back home to WA.

Bit of corn pow skiing on the way back. Also, probably the weirdest deja vu moment I’ve ever had skiing back to the car, hard to describe. Maybe the most I’ve hoot and hollered on a descent because of it, all while solo - probably came off as a little crazy lol.


Notes

  • This was probably ~6 miles and ~4000 feet of vertical gain in a little over 3 hours.
