First tour of 2014.
My friend Tyler and I packed up and headed up Duffy Lake Road on Friday for a little winter excursion. We were lucky to have open schedules after a small snow storm was followed by clear blue skies.

We were an hour or two into our trek when we ran into someone that informed us there was a cabin in the valley. Stoked to check it out, we forged our way to it. However, we were geared up for winter camping, so we didn't get to take full advantage of the shelter.

My first powder run of the year.

A little more snow would have made it an even greater playground.
