(L to R) The Banshi (Lisa's truck) did a fabulous job getting us up the slippery, slimy trail (although she did need to be chained up on the way down due to compacted snow and ice) Welcome to the Mt Tahoma Trail System, Doug navigates the first gate, Lisa's new skis (well,  new last year for about 20 minutes until a Pineapple Express blew in on this very trail and washed all the snow away) "The Orb" tries to break out, some patches of blue sky

(L to R) another patch of blue sky, skiiers in the mist, mossy tree, Doug gets the hang of it

(L to R) almost to the Copper Creek Hut, view of the hut, We made it !!!, stove in the hut, view from the trail leaving the hut.

(L to R) Why Lisa decided that she's not a fan of plastic tele boots for this type of skiing, How Lisa spent Sunday night after the trip
