Trip Report

Spring-like skiing was the order of the day for this trip. Skiers made rapid progress climbing to the ridge above Booth Lake with an enjoyable descent to our lunch spot. There were plenty of opportunities to carve turns in the soft snow. The remainder of the loop presented expansive views of the Three Sisters, Mt. Washington, and Three Fingered Jack. All-in-all a fine day outdoors.
