Pogonip from Slide Mountain.

28 Jan 2009 3 2 466
Icy valley fog in Eagle and Carson Valleys. "Pogonip" can also mean the thick hoarfrost the fog deposits. It's evidently a corruption of a Paiute word. Taken from off Zephyr Run on Slide Mountain, Mt. Rose ski area. It was warmer up here than down there! Washoe County, Nevada, USA.
