Kirsten, Steve, Brooke, and I decided to head up into the mountains for some skiing/snowshoeing. Brooke and Kirsten went on snowshoes and Steve and I skied. We chose a short route out of the Alpental ski area parking lot to Source Lake, and then up towards Pineapple Pass. As we made our way up the easy, gradual climb to Source Lake, it was snowing very lightly on and off. After reaching Source Lake, we started the climb up to Pineapple Pass. We stopped for lunch in the bowl below the pass with the peaks above us. As we ate, the snowfall got heavier. After lunch, we headed down through the trees back to the drainage in the bottom of the valley and back out to the car.
