Today Otto and I went up to
Mt. Thielson for some "spring" skiing. (to back up, I met Otto last week when I was up at Mt. Ashland. Come to find out, he's on the Hardy Engineering "ski team". We are teamed up with Hardy's civil side on several projects.) I haven't explored much of the back country areas so I was excited to get out of the bubble and see something new. Mt. Thielson is near Diamond Lake, which is only about 2 hrs from Ashland. When we got there I was suprised to find an empty parking lot. We had the entire place to ourselves! It snowed about 4 inches last night and it was cold today so the snow was perfect. As you can see from the pictures, it was a bit foggy (pea soup like) and snowy so the visibility was poor. I wasn't sure how fast I was going or is I was headed up or down, but at least when I fell it was a soft landing.
We got one 2 minute bubble of sun which revealed a glimpse of the top, but I wasn't fast enough on getting the camera out to actually get a good picture of it. next time...
The rest of the weekend was fun. It was
1st Friday so Leah and I went out and socialized then a big group of us met out at Tabu and boogied until the wee hours of the night. Yesterday I went on a short ride and did domestic chores in preparation for the big review class in San Fran next weekend. Must pass
section C!
