Dave's PhotoJournal for December 20th

Technically, it was my second day of the season (if you count the one run they had open at Sun Peaks), but it was really more like my first.

It was mostly sunny and clear in Seattle today, but at Crystal it was cold, cloudy, and snowy. There was a cloud sitting on top of the mountain, so the summit was miserable, with 30mph+ winds, and little ice crystals that pelted your face. We stayed on mid-mountain for pretty much the whole day.

Me, ready, wearing the new ski hat Julie got me, and the new neck warmer / hood that her mom got me, waiting for J.

On Crystal Mountain. You can see the Gold Hills run on the left side, across the valley.

Just underneath the cloud, a little ways down from the summit.

The only blue sky we saw that day. The lifts you see are the top of the Chinook Express, and the bottom of the Rainier Express.
