You got it, that is a total white out at Christal Mt, those are the ski lift towers sticking out of the drifting snow, they have had 15' of new snow in the past 2 weeks. If you have terrain on your GPS there would be a huge red area in front of you.

I was going to say that was a nice photo of some cumulogranite.

I wanted to say ski lift towers, but I wasn't 100% sure. Very cool, under what circumstances was the picture taken?

We gotta get you a better monitor. There's at least five visible.

What really suuuuucks is when they suddenly stop the lift in those conditions for safety because chairs start swinging and bouncing, and you're still on it. Freakin' cold waiting for the wind to die down, sitting there not doing anything. Reminds me of way too many days up on top at Loveland. Place is great when the wind isn't blowing, which is... Never.
