Mt Ellinor July 9, 2010 last post

Starting down the southwest side. Considerably less snow this way(for a bit anyway)






Addie waiting for everybody to catch up



Ran into heavy snow again, skirting around the SW side



Spread out



This is where I wished for my snowboard. Next time.



The only bummer of the day was Becky fell on a steep snow patch and couldn't stop herself from sliding. Ran into a tree and banged up her leg badly. The really unfortunate thing was that this happened close to the top, so she had to go quite a ways that way. Some would have complained mightily in this situation, but being from the A-Team, she refused to be a baby about it and we made our descent. I'm hoping to get a picture of the damage today..
