So with all the snow that we’ve been getting, this spring has posed some problems with getting up high. It’s all about the weather windows in my opinion, and the weather windows have been a little hard to come by. I have an aversion to getting up high and then being caught in clouds, I [...]

So after Wetterhorn I fueled up the body at the Packer Saloon and headed north to meet up with Allison and Gary. I killed some time at Mt Princeton Hot Springs. It felt nice to get some hot water. Then I headed to Salida and had some dinner. I wrote a TR for Wetterhorn and [...]

Well I over slept my alarm the day before and woke up when my truck got really warm. I was on La Sal Pass trying to get Tuk done but when I was driving out I noticed it didn’t have enough snow for a ski. So I guess it all worked out OK in the [...]

With the weather and the Foehn winds hanging around we decided to get some history. So Stina called Kate and Mary Louise and we hatched a plan to go check out where the puppies come from. It’s 2000′ of vertical gain and 3 miles one way. With a history dating back to 1000AD the Hospice [...]
