Crystal Clear

I got up at 6:30 this morning and high tailed it to Crystal Mountain after a bowl of oatmeal and a quick change.

It was my first time at Crystal and I loved it! Not all of their lifts are open yet, but it didn’t matter. I never waited in line for a lift and there was plenty of fresh powder to go around. 20 inches of new powder that I floated through over and over again, it was fantastic! Of course, now my legs feel like rubber, but I had a great time.

The weather was perfect. Cold enough to keep the snow nice, but warm enough that my appendages never lost feeling. The sun was out and everything was glistening. It got breezy for a bit at the summit, but once you began the decent the wind was gone.

This view of Mt. Rainier stopped me in my tracks (literally), so I had to take a picture for you. Absolutely gorgeous.
