Castle Peak ski tour with David S, Mike, and Denise

low snow conditions and warm temperatures required careful stream crossings...

Picking our way up the lower slopes...

Up into the Alpine...

Snow warming, we reach the summit ridge..

After a lunch break on the ridge, we head back down before the snow turns to pudding.  Perfect timing.

Husband and wife team, weaving a wonderful story in the perfect conditions

Then, back over the big obstacles to reach the car
