Red Cone

 Today I was joined by my friend Dave as we toured up Red Cone in the Mammoth Lakes Basin. Wow! There's a ton of snow up here. Good snow too.

 We got a nice early start and had the place to ourselves.

Red Cone bowl itself was wind packed and the two sets of turns in there didn't look great, so we elected to ski the east facing glades on its flank. Our turns from the first run below us.

Another beauty of a day. Crisp, but not too cold.

Looking west into the bowl. Ritter and Banner off to the left and Mammoth Mountain right.

Dave's an accomplished splitboarder. The only action shots I got were of him in the white room!


Magnificent day! Thanks Dave.
