Mysteries of the Middle Fork...
Three skiers floating through the snow, while three birds soar through the sky above. When you're in the right place at the right time, sometimes you feel it deep down, and sometimes the world around you lets you know.
A nice afternoon microadventure, exploring another new zone at the pass. The I90 corridor offers seemingly endless little adventures like this. It's always fun to poke around and unlock the secrets of snoqualmie.
Just splendid.
Winter's curves.
I had not been to the Baker Backcountry for two years, but on Monday I was reminded why this place is so special. Giant mountains, complex terrain, and striking views. A great day of exploration with @heinelogan and @johnkimthehuman .
