I had taken a holiday from touring to enjoy some great lift served at Alpental, but was itching to get some human powered uphill. Hooked up with Ellie B. to try and convince her that Jackson Hole wasn't the only place with good backcountry skiing. Took advantage of the lifts to spin a couple of slack country runs, then we headed up the Chair Peak basin to take a look at the North facing slopes, that lead to Snow Lake. Unfortunately the N. side was fairly wind affected. Fortunately the turns back down to Source Lake on the S. slopes were silky smooth with about 14 inches of fresh stuff. Spun one last lift run down elevator gate to finish another excellent day.
