Crystal Backcountry - Cement Basin ski/split, December 2007

I rendezvoused with fellow TAY splitters Eric (aka Snoslut), John (IAOFM), and skier Scott in Cement Basin for a day of blower pow and some unexpected blue skies in the morning. A warm-up run down the south-facing slope we had just ascended and three long descents into Cement Basin proper rounded out an excellent day of backcountry riding. Now only if it wasn't for that damn core shot suffered on the final descent back to the Bullion Basin highway. Someone got a tad bit greedy! Anyway, I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking...
