Bobcats in the Backcountry

It's become a ritual -- our Friday after school sidecountry ski tours. Coop and I have made a healthy habit of it. We leave school shortly after the bell, change at my place, grab a couple pops and head into our backyard. It's just a short drive to the trailhead, after we drop the car at Lunar. We climb to the Peak on the north side. The shadows keep us cool. The sun dips to the west.

We reach the summit and crack a PBR -- our reward. Skins off. Out the ridge. Drop the cornice, snap a few and traverse toward the lake.

The work week washed away by the wet slide.

Lake Tahoe, East Shoe Glass!

PBR Beard Froth...

Down the Hatch!

Into the Blue...

Yonder.

We used to have Friday meetings with our previous milksop. Now we have time to make some post-work turns and talk shop on our side-country tours. We call our outings: "Bobcats in the Backcountry" because we that's our mascot.

Pink Skies---For Reals

What does the little Leprechaun say? Pink skies and purple horseshoes. Yellow stars and green diamonds. Ahh, the colors of Lucky Charms... So prevalent they appear as a reflection on Lake Tahoe.
