We spent the morning touring Glacier Vista and the slopes below Panorama Point on snowshoes. Just playing around, trying to find out how steep we could climb; turns out you climb up steeper than you can climb down, especially when it's really icy. The built-in crampons work great on the ascent, coming down not so much.
For the afternoon's entertainment, we skied around to the east of Alta Vista. This side was nice and shady and the snow was soft and easy for the skis. But winter days are short, and before we knew it the alpenglow was telling us it was time to find the car.
