This year I've been out on a few ski tours in the nearby mountains. James and I went up to Das Pfiefferhorn in LCC last saturday. Visability-wise, it is probably the best day I've had skiing ever. It was in the 50's with zero wind. It made the skiing less than perfect being so warm, but it was fun to be out. I picked up James in SLC at 5:30 and we were hiking by 6:15. It's fun being the first people on the trail. It had been about 5 days since the last good snow, so there was a good skin track in most of the way. We decided not to summit the Pfeiff for time reasons (Homework is no fun--it always hangs over me) but had a great time nonetheless.
Following the well packed trail down low.

Early morning sunshine.
Me with morning sun just starting to touch the mountain tops. My headlamp is still on for some reason.

Almost to the lake.
Our first view of Das Pfeiff.

It was a busy day. Before we came down, there were 11 people on their way up on the skinner that James and I put in that morning.
My track is the squirly one not making perfect S turns. S turns remind me of classic bad ski movie "Aspen Extreme." We started down where that little red glint of sun is on the ridgeline.

I've been wondering if you having your own blog was coming :). I like your posts!
I think the term I was searching for was figure 8's, not s-turns.
Yep, I've been wanting to start one for a while.
Way to go Layner. I'm looking forward to hearing about all your adventures. :)
Going out on your own, huh? That is bold, bro. Sorry I couldn't join you on what appears to have been an awesome day in the BC.
Hey, well I think that skiing and women's jeans go JUST FINE together on a blog...But I am glad you are starting one of your own. It'll be fun to read.
Nice work Bro. Now you can start talking about men's fashions anytime you want.

This is going to be an awesome blog. I assume you guys are using cross country skiis? Is that right? I don't know anything about cross country skiing, but I hear it's about the hardest full body, cardio activity you can do and it looks like a lot of fun.
Your next post needs to have some Ukranian jokes in it. Long LIVE WAYNESTOYEVSKY!!!
