Moscow Mountain Has Snow!!!



Tuesday night (Nov. 28) my friends Trevor, John, Elizabeth, Harlow, and Chambers, along with myself, made a night time ski up Moscow Mountain through a now defunct ski area called Tamarak. Of course the dogs with were with us, both Diesel and Denver, and Elizabeth's dog Kinsey.

It was bitter cold, some of the coldest temps I've experienced since living here, -4F windchills. Still it was well worth it. The snow was light and fluffy, almost too fluffy for skinning up. We took the "Harlow" route, which for those who don't know Harlow that means you look for the most strenuous route up the hill and that's the one you take. In his defense it is usually the most direct route, but something about hacking through brush and scrambling over cliff bands when there is a road bed that works just as well.... Anyways, it was a clear night with a half moon, there was new snow so the reflection was incredible, and the views from the top were spectacular.

It's going to be a good winter!
