Round Valley and Andesite Peak Ski Tour

IMG_4100Eying up the southern face of castle peak from the meadow below. The center chute has been on my hit list since last season, just needs a little more snow to fill in.IMG_0412Jason – taking a closer look at the Castle peak cliffs band from our new vantage point on the ridging above Castle Valley. Decent snow coverage for December but still looking like low tide.IMG_3036Jason – skinning up the SW ridgeline of Castle Peak
