8812 Bowl

Christmas! We started the holidays with a trip to 8812 Bowl with Ross. I forgot my camera. Ross forgot his camera. Brenda's kind of worked once the batteries were heated up in a pocket. So we got a few shots of a quiet day just before the madness of skiing in Rogers Pass over the holidays set in.









The ski down 8812 Bowl sometimes feels a bit...underwhelming? The top is nice since it's steep and usually holding good snow. But that section is short and the majority of the run is through rolling moraines in gentler terrain. So I think the appeal is mostly the setting. There are views into two different valleys and the narrow ridge just below the pass has a real alpine feel. So don't get me wrong we'll be coming back again. And again.
