year. I skied in 8 different monthes.

not really, O11, just sarcastic comments that come to mind.

i was scoping the lines for season on this hike. when i go, it's stress relief. i go to get away from the city, the concrete, the smell, work, and just be in the nature.

while climbing down the metal chain in the last pic, i remember thinking, sh@t don't fall, don't fall
