January 16, 2026. Alpine.

Eight runs on day one of the first three-day tour of 2026.

We spent the day in the high alpine finding recrystallized snow on north facing terrain.

Beautiful flying conditions with light wind and clear skies.

The snowpack stability is good allowing us to access a variety of terrain in the upper elevations.

Tomorrow we are heading north to the Independence Mountains. The middle of nowhere, just how we like it.

We will see you in the morning at the window.

Sleep well.
