2011 Slackfest - Skiing the summit snowfields 5/30

[David Metsky]

Thanks Rob for being the Mayor of Slackfest once again. Monica and I had a fine time, enjoying the limited but sufficient snow cover, the non-race course, the sunshine, and fine company. As tradition dictates, we head up the Auto Road on Memorial Day weekend, park at the Air Force lot and hike over (and down) to the snowfield for some end of season turns. This year had the least amount of snow in the last 4 years (150' vertical) but all you need is enough to make some turns.

Kool stuff Dave. The goods went quick this year with all the rain we had. Glad you were able to pull it off!
