Couple of patrol buddies and I met up at Max today. Lots of snow and beautiful day with temps around freezing. We skied of the back. Some very large cornices up there, some having broken. Snow was a little sun baked but around 6" to 8" of niceness.
An idea of the amount of snow up there right now

On our way up
Views from the top
Don't think this picture does justice to the size of the cornices. We steered clear, didn't have our beacons:)
View down our first run
Ken starting down
Rob's next
Tracks from about the 300 vertical foot run
Video of yours truly, my dog in hot pursuit
The dogs eagerly awaiting Rob
We didn't have a good time
Hope we get one more storm for another great day

Great pictures - Looks like a fun "off" day from the Cat. Is that a Scotish Ale to end the day?

Where is match patch? Also, were those your tracks I saw on the bald next to cat? It was definitely a very good skier, because the tracks were in that perfect pattern.

Max Patch is SW of Hot Springs and very accessible. Not mine, not been able to get up there yet this year.
