Wife and I went for a spin up near Darrington today.
Clear Creek
Just an old snowmobile track and a skin track.. nice snow
floating nicely along
hard pack
getting to the fresh snow
started getting steeper..
up and up
you can just see White Chuck..
looking back.
floating nicely at 4psi
grade was a bit steep
bunny highway
3740ft. time to park. up ahead the grade steepens significantly and there is a lot of off camber exposure.. not something for a one-rig adventure.
White Chuck
Baker
nap time
brought the snowshoes but we didn't need them at all... 4100ft elevation
Pugh on the left
time to head back.. getting dark
guys flew over in a copter, wonder where they went

Looks like we finally have some fresh snow headed our way!
