This last week I went to a couple of recently visited zones and checked out an old favorite.
First off, I toured up into this area to see if I could have a look at that cool slot left center. Unfortunately I needed to travel under steep, slabby slopes to get there, so I didn't quite make it.
Was a fun outing nonetheless.
The open areas were wind affected, but the edges skied well.
Next up was a scouting mission in the Egan Range. This is a popular destination. Both times I've skied here there have been other tracks. No one skiing here now!
Since there was obviously no chance of skiing, I put on the hiking boots and went for a stroll. Views of Wheeler Peak out over Steptoe Valley.
Looking north to Ely.
These slopes hold potential if there was a lot more snow.
The main goal was to check out this canyon, especially the long arcing line from upper left down into the shadowy canyon. Looks cool! Needs more snow for sure.
Yesterday I elected to go for more of a sure bet in the Schell Creek Range.
Another Aspen zone just south of the one I skied last week.
Not sure what's going on here. The snow was much deeper around this spot, but quite shallow below this huge dead snag.
Sure enjoyed the sweet Aspen bliss.
A little wind affected up high, but delightful lower.
We're suffering here with a serious lack of snow, but I'm making the most of it!
