Bear Basin January 20th 2007
Our goal was to climb Wilson and ski back out Bear Basin. Conditions were not that great, and visibility was even worse. We made it to the first ridge, and then skied down and put a skin track through 2 feet of powder and facets to the top of the next ridge. When we could not see our destination, and with even more thickening clouds, we decided to ski back down the way we came and then ski out Beehive. A fun day, but not a lot of great skiing or peak bagging. 6 hours and 50 minutes from car to car.
