Although my husband offered champagne and home-cooked brunch to celebrate my first Mother's Day, I had my heart set on a day in the backcountry. Petra Pirc McDowell and I headed to the Santa Fe National Forest in New Mexico for an 8 mile excursion with perfect corn descents.
Petra dropping in on her Paybacks. Lake Peak (12409') in the background.
Silky corn!
I'm on Dawn Patrols and Petra is on the new Paybacks.
We intended to ski a steep, west facing couloir into the Nambe basin, but it was elusive among the surrounding cliffs. Has my name on it now! Next time!!
Elusive couloir, grrrr.
