| Crispin and Geeb lay tracks into Pineapple Basin |
Once again, good to see the usual cast of characters for the opening day of Silver Fir chairlift at Summit Central. Ran into Chris, Quincy, Matt, Heidi, John, Adam C., Crispin and Sean Courage. With no new snow the hill looked pretty sketchy, but thankfully the surface crust wasn't too thick and skiing actually turned out to be pretty good. For the second half of the day toured up the Alpental Valley with Crispin. We reached source lake and decided to put a skin track going up No Fog. Crust over in the Alpental Valley was a little thicker and just a trace of fluff on top of the crust. The uphill journey was fun and it's always nice to be the first group laying tracks into an area. We skipped Pineapple proper due to obvous wind scouring and our high point was above Draft Dodger Ridge. Unfortunately skiing was really poor. Looking forward to more snow! Elevation gain: 1,976 feet Distance; 4.5mi. Time 2:45
