Happy Birthday Christopher Columbus!!!!

Despite being responsible for the death of tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of "Native Americans", we still celebrate Christopher Columbus's discovery of the Americas, or is it his Birthday? Who cares, all I know is we get a federal holiday, so I went backcountry snowboarding!!!
Matt skinning in towards Hatcher Peak.
More skinning, Hatcher Peak face in the background. It was a "bluebird" day.
First signs of Avalanche #1 we saw, possible skier triggered within the last 48 hours.
Second Avalanche we saw on the face of Hatch Peak, certainly looks to be skier triggered within the last 24 hours.
Shot from half way up Hatch Peak
Jack and Labeda passed out on the drive home.
