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.
What's this? Easter eggs on the summit? If you know Christy you understand her love for well-themed events. Thanks you Easter Bunny! On Easter Sunday, we skied a line off of a local unnamed summit that neither Christy nor I have been to before. Like a lot of 13ers in the state, this 13,500+ foot summit has never been given an official name.

The second descent of the day, a couloir that brings you over from Taylor Basin back to the Cooper Creek drainage We joined friends at the Lindley Hut last week and did a cool tour on and around nearby Star Peak. I've always considered April to be prime time for the Braun Huts...

Love the Joey-stoke:) Great shots as always, Ted.
I wonder if Joey realizes just how much internet exposure he has. Probably not.
Christy
I love the Joey stoke too! Nice Kastle shot too! Kfry – you might have to join this team again soon 🙂

There’s an emoticon for that. Maybe you’re not that type of commenter.
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
