Holy Cross – Cross Couloir Ski – 7.3.05
On the summit, a gorgeous July day. Route: Cross Couloir Team: Ted (solo) In 2005 I skied during every month of the year.

Missouri Mountain Ski Descent – 6.5.05

After several miles of solo...
Huron Peak Solo Ski Descent – 5.5.05
Solo shot on the summit. Route: Northwest Face Team: Ted Huron would be straightforward. I had been up this trail twice before and felt it to be safe for a solo ski. The snow closure and subsequent car camp was at the Winfield ghost town. Early the next morning I skinned from the car on very frozen snow, and with a few solo days behind me this spring I was...
