GREAT Skiing at Mission Ridge, Washington

In addition to watching The Incredible Hulk and Frosty the Snowman sweep the 2011 Dummy Downhill, there was some fastastic skiing. My brother Kurt knows this area inside-n-out ... plus they had great snow with several inches of fresh every night. It was amazing following Kurt because even in the skied out areas, he would duck into the trees and find untouched stuff. Plus he dragged me along on countless long hikes up the ridgeline, but it was all worth it for fresh tracks. It all made for three perfect days in Wenatchee!

Kurt and Alek catch their breath after yet another hike for fresh powder - a lotta work, but worth it
