Winter Ends

Winter ends for Ian and I in the beautiful high desert of Central Oregon. With about 40 days between Mt Bachelor and the backcountry our skies and our legs have retired. A short season, but our job calls us back south, replacing the volcanic cinder cones of the Southern Cascades with the granite peaks of the Sierras.
What I will miss..
.Climbing at Smith Rock, skiing in the backcountry at Three Creeks and Tilly Jane, hut life on Santiam Pass, breweries in Bend, snowmobiling with the Harvey crew, ice climbing at Paulina, the wonderful ladies at Coldwell Banker, babysitting the puppy, the roommates, Ian's mom and sis, and Bill's double belt.
