We were fortunate enough to get to head up the trail once again with our friends Rob & Rina. This time in very different conditions: warm (like seriously could have worn shorts on the way up!), sunny, & clear blue skies! The doggies (Zelli & Lucy) got to come along as well & did some stellar ski touring with us, logging close to 3,000 vertical feet each day & roughly 15 miles total over our 3 days away from home. No new snow on this trip, but gorgeous days none the less. We hunted for some soft snow & found a few good stashes on the northern aspects of the peaks...everything else was sun-baked crust for sure! A brief bull moose sighting just before heading home. Can't wait to go back next year!
The boys & dogs made it up to the ridge just in time for sunset.
Zelli takes a rest in the shaded soft POW!

Zelli is part of the team too!
Look closely...Jeremy catches "air" of his hand built "booter" (aka jump)

That's right...jump for joy. Zelli thinks we're nuts, others agree. :)
All smiles at the summit! A good days work!
Dog & Mr. Master....this is the life huh Zelli?
Zelli summits again, a new ridgeline near Little Water Peak!
Zelli geared up for the run (4.6 miles) back to the car...she'd much rather stay & sleep at the yurt! Gear up pooch!
