East Shoulder of Lovers Leap.  After skiing the fresh down from the peaklet, we cut skiers left to the bottom of Lovers Leap and hiked up the ridge line.  At the top of the east shoulder, Sierra and Chris had this view of the gawkers on Highway 50 as it curves down to Twin Bridges.

Pyramid Peak.  While on top of the east shoulder, the clouds parted for just an instant, revealing this beautiful view up Rocky Canyon to Pyramid Peak.  Too bad we didn't get up there -- the snow looked *very* tasty.

Ralston Peak.  The clouds also parted enough to give us this view towards Horsecreek Falls Canyon and the ridgeline high above leading up to Ralston Peak.

Earning his turns.  From the saddle, Chris set off through the deep powder up to the top of Lovers Leap.  He is the tiny speck just left of center in this photo (click on the photo to enlarge).

Dropping in on Lovers Leap.  Chris rips up the steeps on Lovers Leap, laying a couple of nice big turns on the open face.
