Hike for Turns Anyone?

 Gunsight Peak, Elkhorn Mtns
Saturday was a bluebird day which reminded us that happier, sunnier days are around the corner. We decided to bid farewell to our wonderful ski season by hitting the slopes one last time. The weather was amazing and you could see all the way to Mt. Adams from the top of the ski hill in NE Oregon. The snow was perfect spring snow- we even had six or so inches of powder to boot. We hiked to the top of Anthony Lakes in snowshoes and then skied down, then we did it all over again- fresh tracks every time! We were happily exhausted and sunburned a bit by the time we got back to the car- but, holy cow, was it an amazing day! 
It was really bright out, but if you look hard, you can see our tracks down Avalanche
