I drove up to Montezuma Basin Monday evening, and camped out on the switchbacks up in the basin, and was greated by a beautiful morning. I hiked up at around 8 to the lower snow field, and ran into my ski buddy for the day, Chris, and we and his dog went up to the upper basin and skied all day long. It was epic.
We never even though about going for the top, cause we've bith been there, and the snow is that good.
I wanna go back and get the big main chute from top to bottom. If anyone wants to go let me know.
