The Nipple, September 17, 2017

Recent overnight temperatures dipping below freezing helped us in deciding to ski the sun warmed, somewhat softened, south facing slopes on the backside of The Nipple.

After skiing three runs on the “Boreal Patch,” we took two more runs on the first backside patch.

Skiing the backside of The Nipple was the right call.
