I rallied my buddy Russell B., we loaded up the Taco Mama, and headed up Hwy 80 to the Castle Peak Road staging area. The gate was open so we drove up the access road to the bottom of Castle Pass, strapped in our packs and made the hour--plus uphill trek to Basin Peak.
Finding snow patches on both the backside and front side, we made a day of it, ultimately skiing 16 runs on 4 different patches.
The snow was lightly dimpled Hawaiian shaved ice; firm yet semi-soft and very edgeable.
The obligatory staged hiking shot.
