Pink. Fluffy. Attention grabbing. This brings the party wherever it goes. I can think of about a million good reasons to wear one, and exactly zero reasons not to.
I’ve skied for the last 78 months in a row, and my trusty companion has been with me through it all. Why do I wear a tutu when I ski in the backcountry? Why the hell wouldn’t I?
Cold? This will keep your tooshie toasty-warm. Uncomfortable? Lay down with this under your head and you’ll be fast asleep in no time. Suffer a bad fall where get a massive gash on your leg ad sustain a broken arm? Have no fear! This doubles as both gauze AND a sling.
Here’s a look at the adventures we shared together in March 2018 for Turns All Year month 77:
Summit Central Skimo Race – March 1
Yay for good friends and terrible ideas!
Mount Baker Birthday Ski – March 3
Shuksan is out!
What’s you looking at?
Tony has the longest arms so he has to take the photo!
Alpental – March 10
Sunshine smiles!
Busted taking a shot!
We are so happy to have ditched Jordan! (Finally!)
Tatoosh Backcountry – March 25
The all-important whippet belay.
Tatoosh crew while the sun was still out: Anthony, Erik, Me, Jordan, & Tab.
Then the snow went away and it started NUKING!
Slot Couloir bail to ski Hyak in the rain (just long enough to make it count) – March 30
So extreme(ly wet)!
Honorable Mention: Mailbox Peak Hike – March 10
I glissaded down a good portion of the boulder field. On accident. It almost counts as skiing.
