Tincan Trees
I headed to Turnagain today with local ER skier Eric. There was about 2-3" in my driveway, but CNFAIC reports boasted only about 1" down south.
The tour was pleasantly surprising. Based on my previous observations from Eddie's and Magnum, I knew the higher elevation terrain was wind scoured. We decided on some mellow tree shots to the lookers left of the main Tincan drainage.
We made a total of 4 shorter laps and found fresh untracked snow on each run. The dogs enjoyed themselves, and LB got back on the saddle.
Eric tries to sieze what he can Sees.
I must say that there were some nice lines in the evening alpenglow on the Sunnyside. Lobita surveys the way back to the truck.

This was a pic from Tuesday's tour to ski PMS Bowl. I met Jon and Jenna, with Kijik, Chili and Hannah in close proximity.
I depart Los Anchorage tonight for Hawaii to meet Meg. I hope we get mad snow when I return.Labels: Backcountry Skiing, Lobita, Tincan, turnagain pass
