WanDilson > So I don't remember what time it was at this point, but it was getting pretty late and it was rather warm, and the snow wasn't looking terribly great as far as avalanches are concerned (this is what Nate told me, I had absolutely no clue myself). And frankly, I was pretty exhausted. And Nate's heels weren't gettin any better. Ergo, we decided to bag the idea of reaching the summit and just go as far as the snow would safely let us. That turned out to be up to a little over 8,000 feet. Then we sat down, had a snack, took in the view, and prepared for the descent.
WanDilson > Sexy, I know. Hey Mary, I wore my helmet! Aren't ya proud of me??
WanDilson > I've seen better. As you can see, we had a wide open slope to ski down. And it was about the longest slope I've ever been on. I was pretty excited.
WanDilson > All these mountains down here are of volcanic origin apparently, and that's a lava field off in the distance. Frozen, of course.
WanDilson > Nate actually looked like he knew what he was doing while skiing. I took around 150 pictures of him skiing and put some of them together in a slideshow. You can see that slideshow here: http://www.astro.washington.edu/kaib/NatestheBest.mov Bonus points if you can guess the soundtrack that song came from. You should really watch the whole thing, if for no other reason than that song is SPECTACULAR.
WanDilson > You're the best... around...
WanDilson > Nothin's gonna ever keep you down...
WanDilson > Here I am on my way down. I had never snowboarded with a heavy pack on, and it was messing with me at first.
WanDilson > Eventually I got the hang of it. I wouldn't say I was graceful, but I made it down at least.
