Last week was one for the books in the Cass Valley 🙌

⛷️🏂 From powder laps and corn harvesting out of Lady Emily Hut to big lines around Falcon’s Nest, with the obligatory pilgrimage to the “Bad Decision” (aka Whisky Hut 🥃) — this trip had it all. Even the keas were in on the game.

Perfect weather, amazing terrain, and an even better crew. We managed to sneak in the adventure before the storm rolled in — nothing like escaping just as the mountains turn wild again.

Good snow, good whisky, great company. That’s the Cass Valley way.
