last weekend

Well I headed up friday afternoon to hood. Got to timbeline and set up the condo (3 man dome tent) just off the timberline parking lot. Took some work but I made a sweet tent platform. It was cold and very light snow showers off and on. Things were looking good for the next day. Woke up around 7 am and made breakfast before heading off. My bladder hose froze in the night but figuring it would melt by the time I hit the top of the mile I payed no mind. Man it was cold. Afte several layer adjustments I ended with rain pants and fleese top. That worked for a while. ANy way it was windy and Cooold, I need to figure a better glove set up, my hands are very sensitive to the cold after last years chair peak debockle. got some turns on good snow. I am ready to start getting some alpine and in better shape.
