We had sunscreen, but it didn't take away from the sun damage yesterday, so we just covered up and continued on the snow. Everything was smooth, except the winds picked up as we neared the top, and balance was arduous. At one point, it was too dangerous to continue on our touring skis. We took our skis off and attached them to our backpacks while being blasted by pretty strong winds, boot packing on an icy surface at a 35-degree (or so) slope. For my friend, Mary, this was her second time being on touring skis. Her first was climbing Mount St. Helens, and this was a bit icier and steeper. The most stressful part of our trip just for the sake of not falling. But we made it.⁣ ⁣ We only stayed at the top for a few short minutes, snapped pictures, and took off for one big run down. At this point, it meant, ALL THE WAY DOWN — no more uphill. Just a pure earned run. The skiing was so great, even better that we came from Bend. We smacked our poles as each one dropped into the bowl from the summit and took off, forgetting the pain of what it took to get up there. We got to that parking lot, grabbed our bikes and chatted with some people who had seen us for portions of our uphill journey. They cheered as we rode off down to Bend, an amazing, no-pedaling coast into a local brewery for some brews.” - KEEN fan and former KEENtern @kelsea_d_photography ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Click the link in our bio to read Kelsea’s blog post, Bike to Hike to Ski: Human-Powered Adventure in Bend⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 📸:@kelsea_d_photography」9月8日 6時39分
