I&#8217;ve always thought about doing laps on Palmer from Timberline. I got mostly there today &#8212; I hit my turnaround time at the mid-lift (second time up) and had to ski out and get home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn&#8217;t stop until I was above Silcox on the first lap and then had some water and a Clif shot. Then I continued on to the top of Palmer where I made a quick transition, skied back down to Timberline Lodge, put my skins back on, ate a sandwich and then skinned back up to the mid-lift on Palmer. The sun went away on the first lap and it got cold quickly, sun was back out on the second lap and the wind died down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4500 vertical, 3:20 minutes with a few short breaks for water and gel. Never felt really worked, felt faster on the second lap in fact&#8230; I think I had more calories in me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chrisrivard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/img_3385.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2768\" \/><figcaption>Cotton ball<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chrisrivard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/img_3391.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2770\" \/><figcaption>This cloud cap formed over the summit and then blew East in the afternoon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chrisrivard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/img_3387.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2771\" \/><figcaption>About 3 inches of powder on the way down. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Felt like I was cheating a little using my heel lifters today.
