Stowe Backcountry 1/5

[powderfreak]

Another day, more powder skiing and adventures with Jim and Scott. Today, however, Dave was able to join us and so the four of us toured the greater Mansfield area. Skied the Back Bowls, hung out in the notch watching ice climbers, skied more of the same hardwoods off the gondi (we've found and tracked a lot in the last couple days), and generally had a good time loving life.

Here are some pics...

If this person were to fall from where they were, they would fall nearly 1,000ft down towards the road. We stood in awe watching numerous people in this hazardous terrain area. Awesome stuff.

All in all, another great day. I have to work tomorrow, put in my one day per week, but should be out there on Monday and Tuesday.

Looks like it failed to suck. Hopefully the warmup won't cause too much damage.
