GTNP Skiing 2019

In an effort to keep the blog going but with minimal effort, here is a collection of mostly photos from my skiing in the Park this winter and spring.

That may be a wrap on my ski season as my enthusiasm for walking to snowline is fading while enthusiasm for running and biking on newly melted out trails continues to soar.
