Tamarack Peak, June 1, 2016

Our Mount Rose Highway Summit recon dusk patrol mission the previous evening revealed lots of good skiing potential up around Tamarack Peak.

On the drive up we could see the chute we skied the evening before.

We skied the wider chute on looker’s left the previous evening. On this day we skied a couple of the narrower chutes on looker’s right as part of our car shuttle exit plan.

…scopes a line…

…and starts down a chute…

Spence finds a chute of his own and sprays the rocks with corn snow.
