Blue Lakes Road Ridge, June 26, 2017

When I heard that Blue Lakes Road was recently opened to the fourth gate (around 7.4 miles in) I was inspired to go on a recon ski mission.
Makisha and Penny were happy to join me.

Penny is happy to be out on the snow.

Makisha and Penny like to spray corn snow too. The Nipple can be seen in the background. Self-timer photo (1 of 3)

A successful recon mission. The snow conditions were smooth and creamy.
The coverage on The Nipple looks very impressive. I plan to return.
I hope that they open the road soon to make access to The Nipple easier.
