Sunday Service on Marmot

A 2 pm birthday party sent me packing early this morning.  The reward of leaving early was being in solitude in an otherwise busy, Hatcher Pass.

The early morning light show was spectacular along the mountains. The sunrise was casting dark shadows in contrast to the bright white snow and then other times illuminating the snow and clouds with bright oranges and pinks.  I felt close to God being in his country on this Sunday morning when most are sitting in a warm, church building. Hallelujah!







The video below shows my descent. The first few turns were nice after that the snow was a bit crusty underneath the few inches of creamy powder. Also, notice how those skiers tracks are all over the place, geez!

    Poor Cammy. How long did it take her to get down? Where are you with the red buildings?

  3. Starra, yes I was by myself in Hatcher Pass. I edited the story after your comment, thanks.

    Crys no doggie pack for Camy. She makes her way down surprisingly fast, unless the snow is deep.
