Sometimes you forget why. The other day I was reminded. Below is a photographic journey into the central Washington Cascades for a day of backcountry skiing.

Well maybe not, but it’s hard not to feel it in the air these days. Mornings are crisp and cool, snow levels are dropping (well sort of…I think the top of Mt Rainier may have had a dusting recently) and a friend of mine in Whitefish just sent some hiking photos from Glacier National Park and there had to have been at least 3 inches of P…O…W…D…E…R!

Yes I love winter, even here in the Pacific northwest. Because for every inch of rain that falls here in Seattle, a foot of snow falls in the Cascades. And since it rains quite frequently here, it also snows…a lot. I’m not a resort skier, I hate lines and lift ticket prices are just about absurd. (Relatively speaking that is…they’re actually on the cheap end here.) So for myself, and the growing masses, looking for endless face shots, unknown adventures with friends and desolate mountains, the backcountry beckons.

So although winter may in fact not arrive for many months, I just posted (and will be posting more) some backcountry skiing pictures from seasons past to get everyone in the mood.
