Twilight Splitboarding

Matt and I hiked up Mill D on Saturday afternoon/evening to see for ourselves what was all the hulabaloo over the recent snowfall. It was a grab-life-by-the-horns moment. You know what I'm talking about, if you've ever grabbed anything by its horns.

It got pretty dark on the descent, so we took it slowly - skiing split on the splitboards. A couple dork-out moments by each of us made sure we had a good amount of snow down our pants, and a surreal pink sunset ignited the pines around us. A perfect first tour of the season.

Hundreds of miles away Paul felt our ski-vibrations and called my phone just as we got back to the car. He's coming on Thursday to hang out and ski for a few weeks, I hope by then our snow meets with his approval. He's no fun when he's angry.
