G3, V and B Day...and the Jura!

...so did you think it snowed???? It DID! The crew (Al, Jay, Tom, and KK) headed off Saturday AM to G3 to catch the first bucket. Upon arrival there was 1 car!..and us.

As we got to the top it was cold and foggy but that did not deter us from making the most for the great snow..and the crew did.
Ready to rock!

Saas Redux!!! MOMOMO POW!!!

This winter is off the scale...snow, more snow, and more more SNOW!!! After watching the radar for 3 days Jay, KK, and I headed off on a mission to find the pow. We made a last minute decision to hit Saas Fee in the corner of the Vallis.

We dawn patrolled it on Saturday AM and arrived after a 3 hour drive to lifts closed and a snowy day. At around 10 it opened up and I opened up the big camera (thanks Mom and Dad!)
