Fun way to end the season. Skiing still pretty good, but the runs are pretty short. Well worth the trip, but probably wouldn't do it again with so much great mountain biking to do.

All pics by friend who did the hike with me but doesn't ski.

Me hiking up the middle of the bowl:

Me trying to bring back hippiness which was lost having by short hair by wearing tye-dye.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It's weird since it was so green last June 11th when I was up there.

Thanks for the TR. Looks like Tux is worth a hike this Saturday.

Damn, and just a week ago you were talking about switching gears and doing the Cape Cod thing. :razz:

Well, I am easily swayed by logical arguments (from you). Besides, the water's still too cold. I'll be biking on the Cape on Sunday to cool down from the Tux expedition the day before. =)
