More Skiing!

So on Monday I headed back to Crystal Mountain for Edition 2 of my skiing experience. See Edition 1 here and here.

Some more friends from work tagged along and we didn't get there so early b/c it was MLK day and we figured the skier load would be light and we were right. After getting all the rentals and lift passes squared away, we headed for a few runs down the Discovery Hill and then kind of split up for the morning. I skied mostly the same runs I did last time and enjoyed those in the morning. Since the weather was so incredibly clear, I made the long ski lift trip up to the top of the mountain where I could take in the sweeping panoramic views the top offers. On to the pictures...
