I joke that Gary’s only life skill is being pretty. At least he’s good at it.
This one might be even more frame worthy than the time you skied with a cat.

That snow is a lot of Gary’s deep!
In the mountains, you need to pay attention to what’s above you, too. Avalanches can run a long way, especially in spring when the snowpack is at its deepest.
