Mount Lola, July 14, 2016

I was invited to join Phil and  Dory from pugski.com (now skitalk.com)for an excursion to Mount Lola.

First we had to pack.

Dory was too tall to fit in the back of the truck, so we swapped him out for skis instead.

Three photos by Dory of the line we skied.

He called this the “15 Year Patch” since he has been eyeing this line for 15 years. (I had skied portions of this line in 2012 and 2013, but not for the full continuous 900 feet of vertical we would get this day.)

Dory tracks Air Phil.

The added weight of the tripod may have widened this mini-crevasse.
