Willamette Pass Ski Area opened for the weekend after being closed since April. We rode the Gondola to the top and skied the runs on the backside.

As a result of the huge snowpack, Willamette Pass Ski Area opened for the weekend after being closed since April.

Nancy had to drive back to Truckee, so Dad and I came out for a very rare day of June skiing.

Keep those knees together!

It was a little bizarre to be skiing the Pass in summer. It reminded me of the years at Squaw where we would work/ski until July 4th.

Fun day skiing, although it got so sticky that we could only ski a half day.
