Snow on trail

Donned skis at Alpental and skied up to Source Lk. Decided to use skins up to the ridge above Snow lake even though it would have been just as easy without them. Wonderful firm snow for telemarking down into the lake. After trying to follow the normal trail we decided to ski on the lake to access a point where we could ascend to the ridge above Gem lake. This worked well and soon we were on Wright's summit. Well worth it for incredible 360 degree views of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Saw many surface sluffs in Chair Pk basin along with ski tracks. Probably a good place to avoid for awhile. Saw no other folk after we left the ski area even though the weather and conditions were superb. A day to remember.
