Checking out the 2nd zone we skied

As Squaw received 2-4 inches the other day, a few buddies an I decided to see what the backcountry would have to offer. Hoping the high elevation of the Tahoe Donner Backcountry would make for more snow than reported, we decided to check out Castle Peak. The first zone we skied We headed in from the PCT trailhead next to Boreal and headed as deep as we could and found unbelievable powder about a foot deep. It was far better than we expected and we had a blast skiing pow and sending rocks.
