Gunsight

The long Memorial Day weekend started with and early hike this morning. I drove to Alta and hiked up the Gunsight chute. The snow was firm in most places but soft enough on top to turn. I used my crampons and mountaineering axe for the steeper part of the hike. Got to the top at 9:30. I found a pair of skis that had probably been buried the first time the previous season. They had lots of rust on the edges. One of the skis was broken and one of the bindings was also broken. I still carried them out with me. Bonus. My consecutive months of skiing streak is still going. I skied at the resort once and did a tour with Tom into the Tri-chutes in April. With this outing today I am at 20 months. October 2010 to May 2012. I will probably get June turns too but not so optimistic about getting July, August and September turns. BTW, I went to Hawaii on vacation the first of May. I was able to do a little hiking while there plus plenty of snorkeling. I scuba dove a couple of times too. Ben, my son in law, dove his first real dives while in Hawaii. Big fun on the Big Island.
