The days are longer, the temperatures milder, and the lines are filled in more. It just feels and looks like spring.
Seizing a sunny day between spring storms that have been dumping on us lately, Anda Smalls, Adam Moszynski, Christy, and I set out to climb Castle Peak and ski its East Face. It was a great day by all accounts– blue skies, fun climbing, and spring powder conditions on an Elk Range classic.

We hooked up with a gang of friends from town and headed up to Cathedral Lake. Our goal was the Pearl Couloir of Cathedral, an area classic and sweet objective by itself. At the top of the couloir however, Christy and I would continue on up and over to Cathedral's true summit, and ski it's Southeast Face.
Christy skins up the East Ridge. Quandary peak - the first 14er Christy and I skied together.
That’s a really impressive-looking line, and a beautiful tour! Great photos as always.
Thx. It was a fun day.

Right about getting a great day.Anda will think they are all that way! Christy, you need to think about joining the boys on Desolation. Would love to include you, but know about those job demands. Hugs. Rod
Looks like a superb day. Thank you for sharing.

Get up there Matt. It’s a good one.
We met in Aspen in 2000 and have been happily stuck in the rockies ever since, getting out in the mountains every day we can, in every season and by all means possible. Read More
