Mandy Skis Breccia

Breccia Mountain with Mandy
Absaroka Range, Togwotee Pass Area
December 5th, 2009

Mandy skins across the flats below Breccia Mountain.

Mandy decided it was time to get her skis on again. We dropped the kids off at day care for the day, and headed up Togwotee for a day of touring and skiing in about the only area still with enough snow. Though, two days of cold and snow now, conditions are getting pretty close to be good here around Lander. Might have to take a closer look this afternoon.

Whiskey for Breakfast!

Mandy leads the way up the Breccia Highway. Folks from Jackson are hammering it. Not much snow over there yet I guess.

Across the flats and starting the climb.

Many of these photos speak for themselves (click to enlarge/ read).

The grin!

The Grinch!

Gumby rips it up!

Mandy layin' down some more tracks.

Good stuff!

Beautiful country- didn't take long for blizzards to prevail over blue skies.

Feelin' it!

Could it be...

No way!

Gumby drops as a wildcat jumps out of the bushes and attacks his head.

Skiing for his life.

Looking back.

Not bad for a guy with a wild animal on his head.

"X" for extreme! Or somethin'.


Mandy scopes the line from above.

Then drops in and tears it up!

Back out on the flats.

Time to pack it in, gotta get the kiddos by 5pm.

Another great day! Cold- maybe got up to double digits- 10 degrees.

Mandy, thrilled to see the Jeep in the parking area.

Back at home, safe and sound... sweet dreams!
