Monarch and Monarch Pass!

Yo Yo!
So much fun has been had that it is hard to restate this trip. We drove in and camped in the back of my truck (see picture below) and woke up to 7" of fresh on the mountain and skied all day while another 7" fell on Monarch ski area. Such a killer place that we went back the next day to rack up untracked laps down mirkwood basin and a ton of other places. We happened to meet up with Corey Folks, who introduced us to his ski patrol friend, Tyler and also let us crash on his couch that night! Thanks Corey! It was bluebird to begin the day, clouded up just a bit, and then ended bluebird. Fantastic! Today we did a smaller tour on Monarch Pass called "Perfect Trees" and still tallied close to 2000 feet of uphill vert with the same down. Super fun! We're looking to do a tour tomorrow with tele skier Alex Paul tomorrow and then another day at Monarch before heading home to see the fam and do a few laps on the local backcountry spot and head back to school. Here are some pics, Enjoy,
Luke
