Skiing at the pass

Went for a ski up at the pass. Turned out to be a longer day than anticipated. The river that is usually frozen, allowing you to pass under the bridge so we had to go over,and it made the ski out hellish because you couldn't traverse the river but had to go up in the trees which was basically an ice fest. The skiing was ok. Facets at the summit for about 500 m. Then the quality really started to deteriorate. Super crusty and grabby at the bottom. But bluebird skies which was nice!
