Lamarck Area

 Yesterday I parked in Aspendell and poked around above North Lake. I wanted to see what the effect of all the wind had here.

Fool's Ridge left. Wound up skiing the open slopes half way up the ridge which actually provided pretty good skiing. Smooth windboard and faceted powder were found.

This chute on the eastern end of the Paiute Crags should "corn" up soon. Might be worth a try.

This snow bridge collapsed on the way out. Didn't get wet thankfully!

Today I elected to head up towards Lamarck Col. Early light on Fool's Ridge.

Cruised by Grass Lake. Always holds fine views of the Paiute Crags (red) and Mt Emerson (grey).

Turned around here. Just didn't feel like post holing through this rubble field.

Down canyon views.

Found a sunny spot (It was cold!) to have a snack and regroup.

Fun skiing on this smooth windboard.

Scoped the map, scouted around, and eventually found a good route to Upper Lamarck Lake.

A short run then brought me to Lower Lamarck Lake.

 A bit of fair to poor skiing in the woods got me back down to North Lake.

Not the best skiing, but a fantastic tour nonetheless.
