Mission accomplished despite a sever lack of wind for sailing. Zach and Jill were very attentive student and despite our lack of significant learned much about basic sailboat functions and maneuvering. Saw all points of sail, worked winch positions and got helm time under power and sail. Great day of learning.

Great snowy trip up Baring on a second attempt. Early start kept the avy danger to a minimum.

Heidi and McKenze were eager and ready to learn. They both did an excellent job in maneuvering the boat thru all points of sail including jibes and coming about. They were fast learners and asked good questions that showed a lot of study and preparation. Great job ladies!

Beautiful views of Mailbox, Revolution, Thompson Point, Russian Butte and the lakes below. Close to home and straightforward. Worth a try when conditions are good.

All smiles on this beautiful hike with bluebird skies and fresh snowfall. After several weeks of cold, rainy and snowy weather in the PNW, we all were extra giddy hiking to Snoquera Falls under blue, blue skies with very light wind.

Glorious clear skies and rising temperatures caused multiple small point release avalanches in our area. We abandoned our trip 2-300 feet from the saddle.

A great bad weather conditioner (~12 miles/~5000’), especially with such easy access. The less frequented Blowdown-Dixie ridges also gave us a bit of navigation practice (no boot/snowshoe tracks from other parties).

Good combo of a short traffic channel crossing and a long fetch up a relatively protected inlet.
