    TR: Sisters/Roundtop, 7/2/12

    Gone2Alpine, jla415 and I went to find some smooth July turns on Monday.
    We hiked past Roundtop Lake and lapped "The October Patch" first.

    Gone2Alpine lines up a creek skim to build up speed for a huck into Caples Lake:


    He passes on the huck and hikes back up to spray smooth soft corn:


    So does jla415:


    Gone2Alpine sprays more smooth corn graffiti:


    After about a half a dozen laps we headed over to find the "U-God Patch."

    jla415 starts...

    ... and he lines up for a creek skim into trail skim into a Winnemucca Lake skim...


    Vets skis upright right next to the falls:


    Roundtop/Sisters still offers multiple ski choices if you are willing to hike a little longer to get to the goods.

    Thanks to all.
    I forgot to mention that I am now at 105 consecutive months skiing and gone2alpine is at 22 consecutive months.
    Also, I think that jla415 has about 377 ski days in so far for this season (this may only be a slight exaggeration.)

    Way to keep it alive. Hope you find enough snow to get you through.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...
