Got some nice shots into the Alpental backcountry and beyond this past Saturday. Here’s ski patrol bombing in the bc:

Here’re the knolls in the foreground then piss pass (w/ the cleaver to right of saddle) and chair peaks shoulder. The peak behind chair’s shoulder just to right is Mt. Roosevelt.

Mt. thompson (the big tooth), a piece of Mt. Snoqualmie front left w/ the south peak of Lundin right after it (just in front and left of Mt. Thompson). cave ridge is the round mound in front right of pic, just behind that on right of frame is Red Mountain and the Lehmas are in very back. SICK terrain and it’s ours!!!
