After an unusually long stretch of high pressure, it finally snowed. And with the arrival of the storm that broke the six-week sunny pattern, Christy, Joey, and I headed up to a favorite spot by Ashcroft on Saturday and found the skiing to be really good.
The four-day snow cycle dropped twenty inches on the ski areas when it was all over. And just like that, it was winter again.
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, making it look easy. After ringing in the new year, we decided to head out on a ski tour to Ashcroft, a favorite zone near Aspen.
I recently joined two friends on a last minute trip[...]

Love the Joey-stoke:) Great shots as always, Ted.
I wonder if Joey realizes just how much internet exposure he has. Probably not.

I love the Joey stoke too! Nice Kastle shot too! Kfry – you might have to join this team again soon 🙂

You would have had fun up there.
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
