Title: "Thanksgiving Epic" Ski Trip
Post by: shanevg on November 30, 2009, 06:03:30 PM: My father-in-law, brother-in-law, and I have started an annual "Thanksgiving Weekend Ski Epic." In order to qualify for an epic it needs to either start in the dark or end in the dark and require routefinding skills. We always invite a few friends along as well. In this case, only one other friend was able to make it. This year we started in the dark and summitted 6,726 ft. West Goat Mountain off of the Mt. Baker Highway. No animal pictures but a few good ski pics.

those were always the epic days on the mountains
