April 20. After four days of warm, wet weather we finally got a freeze last night, so Scott and I jumped at the chance to get back out on the crust. This time we heaed to the Placer River Valley. Althouth the terrain here is very flat, there are two impressive glaciers to see.

Thursday April 15. Tim Kelley and Tim Miller invited me to join them for a crust ski up Center Creek, near Johnson Pass. It was a chance I couldn’t pass up, so I skipped work and grabbed the boards. We skied for about 4 hours in some of the best crust skiing terrain you will find anywhere.

I can’t remember ever skiing on groomed trails like this in mid-April. Still a ton of snow on the trails. Dirty and rutted in places, but lots of snow!

On Sunday April 11, Scott, Taz (the dog) and I did a fantastic crust ski from Glen Alps trailhead. We skied around Avalanche Mountain, going up and over three passes along the way: Ship Pass, Indian Creek Pass, and Powerline Pass. I forgot the camera, so we don’t have any photos of the spectacular scenery. All we have is a map of our route. Sorry!

April 3 & 4, we went to Sheep Mountain Lodge for the Oosik Classic Ski Race. The race itself was hectic - we drove up the morning of because I was sick the day before. So we didn’t get many pictures of the race, but we took plenty the next day to make up for it.

These picts were taken on April 1, but they are no joke. I was skiing on extra blue hard wax with fresh, new show and beautiful tracks. I was skiing at sunset (7:30 pm) so the lighting isn’t great, but the skiing sure was!
