Snow conditions have been less then stellar this last week, but some times you gotta SAC up (Ski All Conditions) and get out. After all it is better to be skiing than not skiing.
I took advantage of the day to revisit Mount Buckskin and see what I would find. The route and ski line was short and fun. Would have been better with corn but was stoked to be out none the less.
Could have taken more pictures but was in my thoughts until I reached the summit.
