We took the snow cat to the ridge at 12,400, from there we descended and
climbed the next ridge to ~12,200, dropped down and then started
climbing San Luis. Things looked grim from our first view, but we were
able to ski the whole thing, with the bottom 1500' being 6-9" of powder.
9 hour day arriving back at the cat around 5:30 p.m.
