Tanglewood fun
So each day I have a plan with a bunch of options to keep making the day bigger. Each day this spring I'm lucky if I can get the first part done. The weather this spring has been crazy. Winter just keeps going on and on. The pow day on Monday was awesome but I really want to get up high and get some peaks done. The weather was looking good but with a very long way to go we knew we didn't really have a chance of skiing our line on "Epaulet" so we just went for Tanglewood and got a nice surprise. The bowl from below seemed kind of boring. Low angled and short was how things looked. Little did we know that there were close to 3000' of vert to the summit from the first opening. The climb seemed like it took forever due to our underestimating the scope of the bowl. Finally at the summit we really got hit by the winds....

saw your tracks

By the time Saturday rolled around, all of that snow in the parking lot was gone. I noticed your tracks going up Tanglewood, and I followed them a little bit past the usual turnoff for Rosalie before I realized you might be doing something different. And now I know you were.
