Eagle's Flight

Saturday, February 11, 2012
Eagle Peak, Oregon

Kodi enjoys her chewy stick...

She's not super stoked to get left home every weekend. But taking her up is an even worse option. Kodi doesn't like sitting the the car very much.

Another sunny day at The Pass. We've had a lot...so many that I'm only up to day 10 on the season--and that includes three days in Colorado. Definitely an unusual snow year. I suppose it is payback for the several good seasons we've had in the past five years. That doesn't mean we have to like it.

Today a pair of bald eagles were circling above Eagle Peak. Unfortunately, I was in the wrong place at the right time and did not get a picture any closer than the one below (see the little dot in the lower middle).

Despite my bad luck on the photography task, it was very cool watching them float the thermals at the top of the mountain. The lifty at the top said they were there for the past two days.

Conditions were sunny and spring-like. The snow turned to a nice consistency of corn on the Front Side.

At the top of Eagle Peak looking east. That's Odell Lake in the background.

Check out the coat. Stylin'

Riding the Twilight lift with my sweetie.

I don't think we'll have any night skiing on Twilight this year. Not a huge loss--we probably wouldn't night ski anyway. There's no park features and the snow firms up to a nice bumpy consistency at night.

The weather report suggest we might get some precipitation this week. Unfortunately, it is calling for temperatures that will be above freezing at pass level during the day. Meh.
