Another spring skiing delight, @snowbird is still open and keeping skiers and shredders busy in Utah. Are there any other spring skiing destinations I've missed?

📍 Split Rock Lighthouse, MN

It's hard to preserve the white of the paper for the stars and Moon when using a pencil to sketch skyscapes. I cut a frisket for the Moon to protect it from graphite.

A lot of you spring skiing fanatics weighed in and said Palisades Tahoe is your favorite place to score late spring turns. Is there anywhere else you'd rather make slushy, soft turns?

Who skied or snowboarded Breckenridge Resort this winter? To me, offers the classic CO experience. The mtn spreads across 5 peaks and the 4 O'Clock ski run deposits you right to the village of Breckenridge from a height of 12,840 feet.

📍Bridalveil Fall, Yosemite National Park

⁠Falling for 620 ft, this waterfall is often seen with wisps of translucent mist. For this composition I am sketching the cascade at a water level you might see on an early summer afternoon.

📍Bridalveil Fall, Yosemite National Park

Probably the most photographed waterfall in Yosemite, this perspective incorporates the dramatic terrain above Bridalveil Fall. As I'm looking over things, it's likely I'll make some changes to the clouds...

This is my pal @radsmithski. His diligent practice over the years has shown me that he is more than ready to carry on the tradition of painting mountain maps by hand.

Join me in following Rad's journey as he paints a number of maps for Jackson Hole's summer terrain.

📍 Whitewater Falls, North Carolina
This is the 75th scene in my series. I initially planned to complete 50 sketches of my favorite American landscapes but I realized I just couldn't stop at 50!

📍 Whitewater Falls, NC
I'm steadily working toward the lower cascade of Whitewater Falls. This family friendly hike is well worth admiring the rolling mountains and stunning views. Where's your favorite waterfall?
