March 7, Alpental and Wonder Gully

Missed the Tuesday powder fest at Alpental due to some errands in Seattle.  Did manage to get in a good mountain bike ride at Grand Ridge.  My body is definitely no longer in mountain biking shape.   Anyhow, settled for leftovers in the Alpental side-country.   We poked around and found some good powder stashes.  After 3 laps decided to mix it up and get a little more exercise.  Dropped into Pineapple Basin from Ch. 2 then switched to uphill mode and skinned to Bryant Pass.   The wonder gully had a few tracks, but was well filled in with our excellent March snowpack.  Good day.

Looks like a pretty large old crown there in the wonder gully, glad you got out. We found great skiing on Catherine
