Winter is back in the Ruby Range! Sadly that doesn't mean fresh snow, but it does mean the temps were cold and the breeze was up.
Got a leisurely 9:15 start and it was still quite brisk, crisp and clear.
Looking up into the zone I skied yesterday.
The two lines center got skied during the last few days.
I was sitting up on that ridge just above the little trees yesterday.
Today's destination. The notches on the skyline.
Skinned almost all of the way to the top of the left notch. Booted the last 30' where it got a bit steep and firm.
Nice looking terrain on the backside. I found a sunny, protected spot to have a snack and change over to downhill mode. Just a few feet away the wind was howling pretty good.
The view from the right notch.
My tracks and a bunch of snowmobile tracks. The skiing was fair to good up here. It paid to read the texture of the snow and hunt around for the softest zones.
Plenty of snowmobile tracks and heliskier tracks in this zone but still plenty left.
Freaky filter. Skiing in the glades here was quite good.
Best day in the Rubies thus far!
