Making the final push to the back bowl above Upper Crater Lake.

Sliding through first light on the Rogers Pass Trail for access to Arapaho Lakes and Crater Lakes .

The consolation prize; skiing variable, wet snow with a high likelihood of leaving some p-tex behind.

Making the final push to the back bowl above Upper Crater Lake.

The consolation prize; skiing variable, wet snow with a high likelihood of leaving some p-tex behind.

Picnic spot looking south to the peaks above Clayton Lake.

A relatively narrow couloir that showed us what a slough-slide looks like. The view to the bottom is unobstructed, which is only slightly more comforting.

Trudging up the ridge through wet spring snow. Way in the background, on the left side, sits a few of Boulder's foothills; Sanitas, Flagstaff, and Green Mountain.

We put in a little lower, but it looked like you could continue up a ways and still get great turns.
