Christy heads back to Camp 2 from Ruby Creek, Jagged Peak cuts up the skyline behind.
Since Internet readers have notoriously short attention spans I find it’s usually best to keep a post to a few hundred words and maybe ten photos. So when I came home with 1300 photos from our recent Weminuche Traverse through the San Juan Mountains, I thought the single brief post I put up on the Centennial Skiers site didn’t really do the five day trip justice. I wanted to share some photos that were left on the cutting room floor.

Jagged Peak from Jagged Pass in a moment when the clouds broke. Looks like an interesting ski?
