Backcountry @ History Rock

IMG_0304

I woke up to another gray-bird day in Bozeman with a warm wind and no snow, but I knew I had to try out my new skins before the weekend was all said and done. I also knew that my dear friend Rachel would be game for a short tour regardless of the not-so-awesome ski conditions. To our surprise, after a short tour up History Rock, the sun poked out and it was a lovely day. It was low angle and low avalanche conditions, so we were pumped….a nice little Sunday.

My favorite little dog Nanuq joined the crew.

Rachel is Nanuq’s favorite…she was kind of his second mother back in our Salt Lake City days…she is definitely his alpha bff.

I hadn’t busted out my skins and touring gear in a couple years, so today was a treat. I hadn’t even tried out my Volkl Katanas  yet…what shame. A good friend and a good dog with a little bit of sun…it makes for a good day.
