Having a #waybackwednesday moment thinking of #bac Having a #waybackwednesday moment thinking of #backcountry skiing with the #highsierrasnowcat crew. #Snowboarding with poles is not only interesting to watch... it's even more peculiar to actually do it. It's like your arms are 6 feet long & might get caught in trees. 🤣😵 How do those skiers do it!?
