    • Abstract:
      The article presents the journey of people who enjoyed skis and skiing during dry, sunny days and crisp, and cold nights of central Oregon's Cascade Mountains. It mentions that the skis and skiing provide perfect conditions for good crust likewaiting for conditions to cooperate. It informs that these people crested a ridge and could finally go fast, on an immense, gently sloping plateau that climbed to the Tarn McArthur Rim near Three Sisters. People reveal that they found sun cups refering to tiny craters carved out by the sun. They finally completed their journey and share their experiences.
