Gerg leads under the
cliffs near the top of the Hidden Lake ridge. |

 |
Breaking Trail.
Gerg breaking trail up the ridge through the new snow. |
|
 |
Since I wanted him to
enjoy it, I actually didn't make Gerg break trail the
entire way. I took a few turns myself. |

|
Above Squallywood.
After about 90 minutes of tough skinning through the
new deep stuff, we got to a viewpoint at around 7,700' above
Shirley Canyon. The Squaw Valley Ski Area is
directly across the canyon. |

|
Into the Land of Knights who Say
"Nee".
The snowcovered trees were surreal -- like travelling
through middle earth or some freakish Monty Python
fantasy. |

|
Fresh
Turns.
Dropping in for a few turns on the way back home. |
|
 |
Down the
Ridge. We
managed to get in some absolutely perfect turns in the
powder all the way down the ridge. The black
building way down in the valley is the Resort at Squaw
Creek. |
