Trip to Cascade Lake

This Monday, the next to last day of May, Heidi, Lisa and I went out towards Canyon thinking we would ski out to Signet Lakes. Well, that didn't happen, mostly because we couldn't find it. Too much snow, it covered up all the signs. No, seriously. It snowed intermittently while we were out there but it was also incredibly sunny for most of the time. I tried out the skis Mom had gotten my for my birthday, Rossingol BC65s. They were awesome. I was not. I totally forgot that I was wearing new boots and got some awesome (different sense of the word) blisters. I... also forgot sunscreen and sunglasses which resulted in not only a wicked burn but also a line of redness across my eyes that lasted for about four days. While my heels are still in agony, at least I no longer look like I've been smoking illegal substances.

Any way you cut it, a pretty fun afternoon.

We were skiing over some... well, watery areas
See the otter? No, well we did
Pretty trees
