April 3, Kendall Tree Skiing

Northwest Avalanche rates danger at HIGH above 4,000'.   HIGH means natural and human triggered slides likely.  Travel in avalanche terrain not recommended!  Thanks to dire warnings, our crew of 6 had the entire Kendall area to ourselves.  With new snow in last 24 hours reported between 13" and 24" we were in a good position for some extremely good powder skiing.   With our crew of 6 rotating breaking trail, we quickly busted a beautiful skin track up to treeline in the Kendall basin.   With abundant energy and great snow we made mutiple 1,000 foot runs.   After four laps I was cooked, but Seth, Crispin, and Jon stuck it out for at least one more run.    Didn't get many ski shots since the skiing was so good, it was hard to stop and pull out the camera.  Not to mention it was hard to catch someone before they flew by.
