Like Dora, I recently had some time to myself. While in Whitefish with the family earlier in November, I acquired a new pair of used skis.
The skis were a decent upgrade from my previous pair and the bindings were super sweet! Hammerhead binding, an expensive pair of telemark bindings with some nice features, like a flexible pivot point and step in cables. I was pretty excited to get them out and as luck would have it, Clay had his annual boys trip. I refer to it as annual, but considering it's been dry for the past 2 years, once in 3 years isn't really an annual trip! Regardless, we were off for some skiing! We ended up with 5 man-child's in total for a weekend of stellar snow!
It was nice to visit with Earl again (in red) having not seen him since the last annual boys trip 3 years ago! A good work friend also came along who knew Clay from way back in Jr. high! With the 5 of us ready for a new season of snow, we were welcomed with a big dump of fresh POW and the opening of Hell Roaring Basin for the first time this year. I opted for the snowboard for the start of the day to take advantage of the snow and some actual skill. I then spent the last 2 hr. of the day on my telemark skis. It took about that long just to get comfortable on the skis again. After the 2 days of skiing, I can say my legs were dead and my appetite was back. Hopefully I can get Dora out the next time! Here are a few more snow shots!
