I’ve been wanting to get up high for a few weeks now. Uncompahgre got my alpine juices flowing but the time just hasn’t seemed to be there to do anything more than ski Berthoud or do lift serve laps. I wasn’t sure what the weather was going to do on this one but we went for it anyway. I’m glad we did. I needed the exercise. It was a fun route with super easy access and OK snow. It was a bit hollow at treeline, but who cares. 2800′ vert and 5 miles round trip. You should try this tour sometime, it’s a great winter tour. The angle isn’t too steep at around 28 average with just one steep zone easily avoidable if the snowpack is like the one we have right now.

It’s also really fun getting out with a new partner. Dan it was great, who’da thought I’d ski BC with the guy that bought my Endorphin’s off Craigslist. You’ve got some good knowledge, and I look forward to the next tour.
