Central Cascades Back-Country Skiing

Dropping a steep gully down from Rachel Lake.

This is bordering on parachute territory

Your shot does a great job of conveying just how steep that gully really is.

It's amazing that this does not always lead to broken bones.

I know I would have to roll down that hill...

This is a nice capture Jim.

Whoa! Those skis are pointed straight down! And the snow looks like styrofoam, no powder to provide margin for error.

Monika, it was quite warm, so the snow was good corn. Carl is a great skier so this was just normal fun for him.
