TR - Blue Lakes Road Ridge Dusk Patrol Recon Ski Mission, 5/23/14
After working all week I wanted to ski and see about future ski options. Plan A was to ski the B Cup Chutes near The Nipple off of Blue Lakes Road. I heard that the road was open up to the 4th gate which is about 7 miles in. Upon arriving I could see that the 4th gate was closed. I also found that the gate on the dirt road that goes to the B cup chutes was locked. Plan B became skiing a ridge on the opposite side of the road just past the 4th gate.
Makisha encourages me to keep hiking up:
Penny tests the snow:
I also skied the hourglass like patch seen on the upper left.

Penny above the last two ridges I skied:
(Front to Back) Makisha, Lhasas, Penny, cornice on ridge, Blue Lakes Road:
Blue Lakes Road Ridge:
I skied from upper looker's left, down to lower looker's right with a couple short dirt/rock crossings in between.
I'll gladly ski this ridge again. Hopefully they will open the 4th gate to allow access to The Nipple soon.
