snowshoe up to crater lake

the day after our hike up the mountain and down the trail to town with dharma and amy, we hiked up the mountain yet again...this time out of ski hill bounds, towards crater lake (longer hike up)...
beautiful day for the hike...at least on the way up...the ride down was interesting but not nearly as fun as the previous day.
too many flat spots on a snowboard with no collapsible ski pole means a lot of energy spent digging out of powder. still quicker than snowshoeing back down though!

jon and i did hike up again on Tuesday to ride the trail to town...so fun. and complete calf & thigh burner (you can't stop or you get stuck in all the pow!). jon has a few great pics i think, so i'll let him post for once...
