September is an excellent month for skiing:
Kelvin was tied up this past weekend putting down a new roof, but Drew and Cass were up for a quick trip. The three of us arrived at the Paradise parking lot just before 10:30am and found it completely full. Instead, we continued beyond the parking lot and parked at the trailhead below Mazama ridge. From there we hiked on the trail for a few miles, then went off-road. We scrambled over some rolls, crossed a couple streams from glacier runoff, banked a few corners, tromped on scree, finally arrving at the spot. The weather was beautiful. We hopped from patch to patch, farming the thin layer of pink-corn. I brought along my Recyled Project Pallets, and they worked beautifully. Cass and Drew were on manufactured skis.
September turns in the bag. Can't wait until October....
