Monitor Pass, Leviathan Peak, May 21, 2017

We returned to our “local” ski spot, Monitor Pass. It is only half an hour away from our home and the snow conditions are holding up pretty well. We would ski on the north ridge of Leviathan Peak.

Snow melts my heart.

Stev taking a second run.

On the third run Makisha “trots” toward Stev…

…then Makisha turns toward Stev…

…then Penny joins Makisha on an intercept course and Stev takes evasive action..

…Penny and Makisha call of the chase…

…Stev skis further down…

…and considers the poossibilty of tree branch slalom…

Penny heads down while Makisha and Michele traverse below Leviathan Peak’s North Ridge.

Stev walking back toward Penny and Makisha after the third run.

Michele’s Tacomama takes us up to some nice views.

We headed down to Walker for an apre ski snack. Penny watches Stev and Makisha enter the garden at Walker Burger.

Monitor Pass delivered creamed corn goodness again.
