Dunderberg Peak.
Saturday morning early, Dave, Nate, Julian and I had
our sights on the nice, long and steep south chute on
Dunderberg Peak (pictured here). We actually had
skiable snow all the way back to the road, following
the narrow finger of snow at the bottom of the chute.
The view from the top is phenomenal. |

Heading up Dunderberg.
Nate and Dave start off towards Dunderberg.
Julian left about an hour after us and still kicked
our butts to the top. |

Up the Chute.
Here's Dave practicing his "Freedom Technique"
(formerly known as the "French Technique"). Mt.
Dana and the other peaks of Tioga Pass are in the
background. |

Mt. Dana.
From this vantage point, Mt. Dana dominates the
horizon. In the foreground is the steep South
Peak/Black Mtn. headwall that we would be skiing later
in the afternoon. |

Random Bozeman Dude.
So we thought Julian was fast until this random guy
from Bozeman came out of nowhere and smoked us up to
the summit. |
