Treasure Lakes Ski Tour

My buddy Steve Patton was in town and he wanted to ski! 

We headed up out of South Lake. 

Usually the trip along the lake is fairly straightforward, but the lake is higher than usual resulting in some quite tedious talus hopping - made especially fun with a skiff of new snow!

Probably would have been better to use the trail at least for the first half mile or so.

Once across the lake and up into the alpine the travel was much easier.

Despite reports of deep snow in the vicinity we only found a couple of inches.

It skied pretty well though.

The exit was almost as arduous as the approach including this class 3 move along the lake.

and tiptoeing on barely frozen ice.

Beautiful day in the hills!
