Since I just bought new skis and boots (well, new to me), Brooke and I decided to get out into the mountains so I could try them out. We decided to head back to Skyline Ridge where we'd been with Kirsten and Steve a month earlier. On that trip, we'd watched people making their way up the next ridge to the North and decided that would make a good destination for this trip. As we neared Skyline Lake, we saw some people on the small peak along the ridge above the lake, and decided to head up there, and then down the other side. When we got to the top, we ate a quick lunch, then headed West off the peak, and then turned North and headed up the next ridge. After a quick break to look around, we headed back down, over Skyline Ridge, and back down to the car. The weather turned out to be perfect, and we found some really nice soft powder for me to test out my new skis.
