backcountry skiing with the foothill freak

 

Mount Superior South Side

April 16th, 2005


Finally, the south side corned up and was ready to rip. Powder Princess was excited to try out her new birthday crampons on some early morning ice, but by the time everyone was picked up and errands were done, the snow was soft enough that we didn't really need them. The middle apron was so strewn with ice nuggets that it felt more like sumo wrestling than skiing, but the bottom apron had some great, smooth corn for the tasting.
