Another fine day of skiing. Not quite as much snow as MRG on the lower 2/3rds but once you got about 3,000 ft. it was very good. After about 8,000 ft of skinning this weekend walking a flight of stairs is a challenge.

Marc + 2 friends (Nate and Mark) skinning:

Pretty skin track:

Nearing the summit:

Austin, I am truly starting to dislike you! Nice pics, thanks I see that so long as there are no lift tix involved, marc is there

I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED to find people went up North!

I was asked, yesterday where people were skinning, and said I would bet they were skinning up, over there. :wink:

Great pix!

Everyone needs more Marc, all the time.

Wow, you said it. Now I know where to look for early season that doesn't require the drive to Jay or Stowe.

Ah, you seemed to have stumbled upon a pattern.... :dunce: There may be a reason for that.

I'd also like everyone to note, whenever a great pic of Austin skiing appears, yours truly was behind the camera. I think I hear WME on the phone now....
