Beautiful Pics, Zip. I am so envious of all you who are lucky enough to get up there in the next few days. The soonest I can make it is next Wednesday.

Tina, you're right - the tree IS trying to shake hands.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It was great running into Stan and Scott today on San J. The views up there were about as good as it gets! Great pics Stan! We went to the summit and were treated to spectacular blue ice.

The pics I took don't do the mountain justice, but at least they give an idea of how amazing it was up there today!

Oh and thanks Scott, Stan and George for breaking trail for us. It was a great route and it took us right to the summit!
