Red Mountain Cross Country Skiing (Dec 09)

We finally got some precipitation here--the first time this Fall--and it came down pretty heavy. We got a few inches of snow in our backyard, but up on top of the Red Mountain, there was over a foot of fresh powder. I drove up Highway 18 and cross country skied several miles out to the Snow Canyon overlook. Notice my tracks on the left side of the photo below. The pinion and junipers are nicely flocked. This is looking north towards Pine Valley Mountain.
