Stev taking a break from sidestepping up a chute, Saddlebag Lake, June 25, 2004.
As you can see the blue sky has been replaced by clouds, the wind is picking up, and there is also a light rain.
The snow felt like whipped butter that was starting to melt.

Above and behind Doug is the chute that was our second run of the day.
