what do they mean I gotta move my car everyday in the overnight parking area?

I barely got this spot and theres only a dozen or so spots for overnight/trips that you can use

it was a beautiful day with some clouds and lots of blue sky

I would enter through the col to the right of the peak. The weather looked fine at this time

a look up the path of where I was headed. It's pretty common that there are lots of people going up here for the day, I was the only one with an overnight pack

i skied down to the Spearhead Glacier and was getting ready to climb Decker when the weather moved in and I got completely lost and disoriented. I had a map and could find north, but I could not find any land marks to find myself

once in a while the weather would clear to about this, only problem was I didn't know what landmark that was, I didn't know how far to the south I was on the map. I was completely guessing as to where I was, and I had to make decisions that would make a big difference based on not all the facts as to where I was....oh no.

I skied down a very steep rock riddled col and then down into the bowl just south of 7th Heaven. The weather cleared about 300feet after leaving the top, and unfortunately I needed good weather up top, oh well, another day I suppose



cheap plastic, oh well

the best part of the trip was watching the groomers all night and then ripping some corduroy first thing in the morning and watching patrol and the lifties scratch their heads as to where I came from
