Andesite Peak Dawn Patrol

Dozier skating back to the car... past the two on ramps... dodging cars and dry patches.
with Miley, Dozier, and Drew.  Nick fell off a cornice... it snowed a lot, but it came in pretty pasty and very stable.  Saw a snow hare on the way up.  The peak is fine, but it's a bit of a slog for 600 ft of vert.  I think I'd rather go out to Castle or Basin and just wake up earlier... 


There's some snow at the summit...
Love these trees with the snow pasted on...
Provided a nice shelter from the wind too...
Dozier's B-day ski... with a kid expected at any second... probably his last outing for a while...
Drew the machine...
Doz
Miley the goofball...
On the second lap he skinned right up to the edge of this fat cornice which collapsed on him.  At the time it was pretty scary... it was quite a break.  He deservedly took a nice 10 ft header into (thankfully) soft, buttery snow.  
Dozier laughing...
And back by 9.
