What a wonderful day! After stuffing myself silly with Merete's pizza rolls the night before, I left early for Gash Point. (A pretty interesting story accompany's Gash Point; the Gash 'gang' spent some time up around this mountain after stealing horses and other shenanigans. You can read more about that HERE)
Straight away, here is a quickly edited video of me skiing Gash Point!

Gash Point:
Elevation: 8,886ft
Location: 46.43347°N / 114.31955°W
Directions: Once in Victor coming off hwy 93 take 5th ave. Follow that onto Pleasant View, and from there it turns into Gash Creek. Go as far as the snow allows. :)
Views at the start
After a short skin from where the snow was too deep to drive further, I arrived at the trail-head.
Soon there after, the next couple miles were tedious; too much snow to hike, and not really enough to skin
Graciously the snow got deeper, and skinning became much easier.
To top it off, I found another skin trail and was no longer blazing my own!
I've made a decisive effort to try and end my streak of off-kilter pictures. :)
Finally the summit really came into focus; it looked soo far away in the beginning!
A couple shots of Gash Point from the road on the way home.
