Turnagain New Year's Weekend

A few pictures from our ski up Tincan in Turnagain Pass over the New Year's weekend. A storm was moving in as we climbed higher; the snow got lighter, the light more flat, and the big flakes kept coming down. Unfortunately, by the time we skinned above treeline, visibility was so bad we had to stay close to the skin track. The ski was finished off with the typical Turnagain tree climb through the willows and alders. The next day we were treated to 12" of fresh snow at Alyeska.
