Christina Lake

After striking out on a resort attempt for the school (road was closed) I was itchin' for some turns. Funny how 6 hours on bus staring at snow will do that to you. Sucked! The next day I decided to take my own bus and board up to the ol' Gustave Lake run. Kept having visions of all the powder pillows up there. I was hoping they'd be re-fluffed and ready to ride. They were...

A view from the summit of Gustave Mt.

Me, above Gustave Lake, riding solo for the day.

Mmmmm.

Now you know what I was really smiling about.

Oh yea!

Not exactly the blower pow we snagged time we ventured up here, but it was still good stuff.

Tight?

Beautiful country.

Nailed it.

More tracks.

Another fun huck.

Pouncing on yet, another powder pillow.

A closer look.

Off to the races!

The big picture again.

A look back down on Gustave Lake, near the end of the day.

Riding off into the sunset on another Southern Wind River Mountain.

Back down at the bus.

A final look back at Gustave Mt, from Gustave Lake.

"All done!"

"Yeeaaaa!"
