Dawn Patrol!

Wednesday Dawn Patrols. My first one with the group. MK and Dubba have been heading out for the last few weeks and getting some excellent turns up at the tunnel. Leaving town at 5:20, skinning up by 6am in the dark. Luckily I get to wake up later as I'm only 15 minutes from the tunnel.

MK setting a mad pace on the approach. He's wearing Ski Trab FreeRando Lights with mohair skins, so they were basically like nordic skis compared to the rest of our setups! (But he also has sick fitness of course.)

MK starting the first run down the hill. 4-6" of new snow had blown in and there definitely was some soft snow sluffing, but all was bomber beneath so there were no worries.

I need nicknames for these two to protect the guilty.

H.bomb carving some pow pow!

Matt getting some deep knee bends in before work at the magazine. He had to be at a meeting midmorning, so we were on a schedule!

The skate out to the car. Up in and hour and a half, down in 20 minutes! It's an awesome to start the day this way.
