S. Sister with Andrew


Mandatory summit selfie!
Got out for a quick early morning foray while in Bend with Andrew.  As it was the summer solstice, we had plenty of daylight, so we figured we'd get after it early and hope to be back to spend the afternoon with the fam and friends.  

The day started out quite unpromising.  A thick fog layer was basically dewing on us the whole time and we were unsure it'd lift.  
We chatted a few times about turning around, when we should make that call... as we could probably still go home grab our bikes and go on a fun ride for a few hours. 
Then the sky parted and the viz cleared just like that.  
And there were rainbows.  Not usually a great sign for good skiing conditions.  
Some icy, steep, tricky skinning on the ridge
Andrew with Middle and North Sister behind him.  I'd like to do that traverse next year.  I'd actually like to run it this year, but I may have missed the window.   
Looks like a great ski off of Middle sis
We had a great looking ski down ourselves too...

After slarving primo corn for most of the way down, we were satisfied.  
A quick boot back to the car... 
And soon we were with the fam, floating down the Deschutes.  

Here was Kimbo's workstation for the day.  Bowie sat there the whole time... or not... 
Needless to say after that trip, the boys were exhausted.

A quick visit to sidesteppin' heaven...


Day 1 = a bit heavy... but really fun. 
Day 2 = cold, wet, rainy... the snow was actually pretty fun, but once my crotch got wet.. I was done.
