Day 15- I did my 14 day quarantine, so today I took a little time to get out on the splitboard solo style! I got a isolated parking space and threw on the boots. I made sure any groups that got near me I gave them 10 feet not just six! Once I got up the climb from the summer road, the hoards headed into Grizzly Gulch. I went up the summer road only having a Alta cat smooth it all out go rolling by.
Top of the Sunnyside lift is where I decided to drop in because there was no one there, and that is just what I was looking for- social distance! I made the switchover and enjoyed the view as the clouds parted and Devils Castle came into view. Bruce Tremper and his wife were walking by about 20 yards from me and we had a nice long distance chat! He’s one of my hero’s in the world of avalanches!

I dropped in and glad I did! On the way out found some good snow, but the hoards were out which had me riding the snow on the side of the trail all the way to the bottom. It was a great day up there. Glad I got a day in after two weeks of biting my nails wondering if I had the virus. Felt really good to be on the skins climbing again!
