Stormin’ the Castle

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.
