4 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
Headed up to Alpental with Russ & TAH Friday after work. We timed it just right. Sunset summit and beers in the parking lot before a headlamp was needed. I skinned most of the way before my skins go to wet and stopped sticking. Had to carry my skis the last few hundred feet. I skied the bowl, but the snow was pretty sticky lower down. The pollen is really bad up there right now. My skis were left with a nice sticky residue to clean up before my next adventure.
