Play Day

Happy days! All of the light fixtures are up and working. What a relief it is to have them done. Oh and the fan in the master bedroom is up as well. So now we have some interior painting of the walls, interior doors to put in, flooring to put down and some other stuff, but I think we're close enough to get occupancy. Should be ready for the final before July easily enough.
So today John and I went out for a little exploratory ride on the sleds. Needed to get an access route scoped out for some back country skiing.
This post will be long on photos and not much else. The first shot is on the way in and where we ultimately wanted to end up.


A little closer. I hoped to get right on top of that slot to the right. Nice little avy path to get into the top of and ski.



A little closer.

Well I was able to climb right up on top of it and with a little more effort and time I could have been standing right in the top, (oh and I didn't pack my skis with me today), but John got me nervous with his riding around down at the bottom of this in the bowl where it all runs out. He made some runs up towards the bottom of it. With more run and really pinning it, he could of made it further up, but glad he didn't press it as I was not in a position to get to him as quick as I'd like if it slid.
This is the view from the top and side looking down it.



The middle.




And the run out at the bottom.






There is John goofing around in the trees at the bottom.
Anyway we had a nice ride, scenery was great to say the least. Terrain for miles and miles. The camera batteries finally started to die before I could take some of the panorama shots that show all the mountains in every direction. Can't give it all up just yet. We have winters and winters to get it all ridden and ski up. It'll take all the time we can come up with.
Nice to be able to do something at the base camp besides work.

Bill said he is deeply impressed with the lines you were looking at to ski.
