December 2012: Ski Dreams!

The stuff dreams are made of:  Circa-solstice cold storms on supportable and predictable base.  

Howie, "ghost trees" and some Cali-sky!  The "basemaker" came in wet, warm and high. Plastered the trees, cushioned the rocks, skied fast and firm for a while. 12/3

And then it snowed some light dry stuff.  Alex, flat light and steep skiing.  12/9

And snowed some more.  12/15

And snowed some more. 12/27

The month and the year went out with a whisper... Cold "Mono Lake Effect" snow.  Feathers on the "other wings", 12/31
