Bluebird day yields 15,400 foot ascent

Yesterday’s warmup gives way to clear blue skies and a full day of skiing at high altitude. Snow overnight covered yesterday’s tracks and added to the already abundant snow on the mountains. A fast pace allowed the Four Lakes Ski Patrol Team to accumulate 15,584 feet of vertical descent while other’s in the group eclipsed a staggering 33,000 vertical descent. Deep powder and endless views kept everyone hooting and hollering. It was a humbling and mind blowing experience for 3 Ski Patrollers from the smallest ski hill in the world to be able to ski some of the largest mountains in the world. This is only day 2 of a 6 day ski goal.
