| Andy and Laurel Roof of Hood River, OR came
to spend a few days in the Methow and planned to join Larry
for a day of backcountry skiing. As with several other trips
this year, First Bowl of Cutthroat provided the closest good
skiing. And good skiing it was, with 8" of perfect powder
and hardly another track to be seen. |
| |
 |
| After a moderate tour up through beautiful,
open, Larch covered slopes, they tackled the steep upper
coulior on foot. This photo is taken at the top where
they took in the views and enjoyed a sunny lunch spot. |

 |
| The snow was delightful and finally now,
in March, the sun reaches into this North facing bowl. |

| The snow was so good, we had to go back
up for a second lap. Here Andy gets the goods. |

End of sequence....
We toured out back down through the trees and celebrated
our great day with a beer once back in Mazama. Cheers
to another great day in the Cascades!
