Wind Continues to Blow in Las Lenas, 9-1-08

Collin braving the wind in LenasThe wind continues to blow in Las Lenas. It is our third down day. After yesterday, we were sure Marte would run and if not we were prepared to go skinning. We were up at 8 and ready to go, only to find that it was so windy that nothing was running. Another down day. The thought of sitting and listening to the wind was too much for our crew to handle and we decided to brave the wind and go for a skin.Jess trying to wrangle her skins.After skinning for two hours in gail force winds, we decided it wasn’t worth it. Call us lame, but who wants to brave the wind to ski two foot deep sustrugi? We didn’t.Defeated by the windDefeated by the wind, we retreated back to the trailhead and ate our lunch. There is a storm “blowing” in. Maybe we will wake to a fresh blanket of snow and no wind. Maybe?

    Hey! I miss Las Lenas. The surf is pumping. I’ll catch you on the flip side. Tell the crew what’s up.
