Had an amazing trip out to Virgina Lakes yurt with a great crew! Kimbo and I got to go as we had the Chases and Souzas watching our kids. Blue bird weekend after 2 weeks of non-stop stormin'
Big shout out to High Sierra Snowcat, who just opened up their second yurt BTW.
- Sat - Butter Trees
- Sun - Dawn Patrol with the boys, then HQLA with Kimbo, then up Olsen, and towards Dunderberg - 1K on Olsen, 2.5K on Dundy
- Mon - Dawn Patrol with Sena on Olsen (best turns of the trip - 1K of good turns) - started track at the top, went to yurt, then skied out to the car.
Here's the link to the Panos and the Vid.

| Kimbo, first time on AT gear in 3? 4 years? |
 |
| And basically the first time skiing pow. |
 |
| I didn't realize I had a HUGE hole in my only boxers. |
 |
| After doing a lap with Kimbo I caught up with the other crew who had just skied the "butter trees" |
 |
| We did another lap toward that side, which was fun... |
 |
| We stayed until sunset... and saw Funk & Toro coming up on Funk's snowmos. We did a lap in the dark, then followed their lights back to the hut. Sena and I went out for a moonlight tour as |
