Jane's adventures
This blog is about my travels. At home in New Zealand, in other parts of Oceania, North, Central and South America and in Europe.
I headed over to Washington state for some climbing with a friend. The first day we were out was a fantastic day with perfectly blue skies. We climbed Mazama peak in the Pacific cascades. We had amazingly clear (although very cold) conditions, with views all the way up to the mountains of Canada. There was a lot of snow the rest of the time. The polar vortex had stretched it's icy fingers all the way out to the Pacific coast. This meant a huge dumping of powder snow right down to sea level. This is quite unusual (almost never happens) in this area. The shops were full of people stocking up on supplies and getting chains for their car tyres to get through the next few days. The endless powder snow did make for great skiing conditions. We decided to make the most of this and skied for the rest of the time. Washington is definitely a fantastic place!
