Snow Crossing at the Summit of South Sister

 

A panorama of the snow field that Dmitri and I crossed to return to the trail leading off the summit.

 

Some people failing at glissading.

 

Dmitri tried sunning himself in the snow.  It turned out to be a cold idea.

Crossing back to the trail and the rest of our party.

Hanging out with the Three Sisters.

I think that might be The Husband or The Wife.

Lots of people hanging out at the summit.

This rock is the highest part of the mountain.  Thumbs up for the top!
