Artist Point 4/30-5/1/05

I'd like to say this trip was all pleasure, but there was a little work to do.  We were going up to Artist Point near Mt. Baker to do a little snow cave building, and learning other assorted skills. 

**WORK IN PROGRESS, CHECK BACK FOR FINISHED TRIP REPORT**

The day started off with alot of this: Some smiles and more faceplants into the snow, or what you'd call a 'self arrest' This is not what you think, just some quality instruction from instructor James Turpin (that's Bonnie laying down)

Aaron and Brian did most of the work on this cave, but here I am taking all the credit! Aaron attempts to summon the power of 'chi' before attempting to singlehandedly cave in our sleeping chamber Aaron takes flight Now Brian takes a stab at it

Okay Chris's turn This jump was so devastating it causes 2 cups of snow to fill the chamber! Mt. Shuksan gave us a good glimpse on the way back One more shot of Shuck!
