It's the time of year again, put on your Saturdays best (or funkiest) and make the pilgrimage to Hatchers Pass, hang a right at the mine, and follow the uptrack to Rae Wallace bowl, vicinity Microdot south.

So we grabbed a couple low angle turns on micro bump, then headed back to the party
Meanwhile, back at the party
I'll keep working on a better map for where we actually skied, but basically did two days south of the Pigot Bay, one day north of Pigot Bay shooting aspects into Pirate Cove, and one day, uhm, busk whacking and playing with porcupines...
Dogs, beer, and ski's; what more do you need?
Heading up for our first afternoon of skiing, shortly after being dropped off by Lazy Otter Charters.
Ok, so these photo's still jump around a bit, but stay tuned for an awesome video experience from the trip.
