Twin Lakes Pass

Brett and I did our first Dawn Patrol today. It had been snowing during the evening and was still snowing lightly this morning. We met at Brett's office early and drove up LCC together. This was Brett's first time out on his new AT set-up. We skinned up Grizzly Gulch with the plan to hike to the top of Patsy-Marley. By the time we made the Twin Lakes pass we had run out of time. During the transition we observed 2 ski patrolmen from Solitude doing some avalanche work. The low angle ski out through the new snow was big fun. Brett said he had never skied in powder like this. We planned to do a dawn patrol at least once a week for the rest of the season. We also decided that we need to start earlier so we can get to better, steeper skiing.
