Ashcroft
After ringing in the new year, we decided to head out on a ski tour to Ashcroft, a favorite zone near Aspen.
Mount Mamma – 13,646 ft.
A spring ski descent of Mount Mamma, 13,646 ft., in the Sawatch Range west of the 14er Mount Antero.
Otztal Traverse
A six-day hut and ski traverse through the Otztal region of the Tyrloean Alps.
Bella Coola
A group of us were lucky enough to have had an opportunity to ski out of Bella Coola for a few days. Because it’s so inaccessible, the only practical way to get up into these mountains is to use Bella Coola Heli Sports.
Winter Ski Touring
Snow has been falling steadily all season. The backcountry has been slowly filling in and we’ve been getting out on some of our favorite winter ski tours when we can.
Tagert Hut Christmas
Our annual Christmas Eve Hut Trip, now in its 9th year, was to Tagert Hut. Five of us made the trip up to celebrate the holiday and do a little skiing on Christmas morning.
Berner Oberland Ski Traverse
A five day ski traverse (loop) through the Berner Oberland region of the Swiss Alps with huts, summits, good weather and bad.
Hahn’s Peak
At 10,839 ft. Hahn’s Peak isn’t a particularly high summit by Colorado standards, but it’s position among the neighboring peaks of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness give it a fairly impressive presence. And it makes for a really fun backcountry ski outing.
Mountain Mentoring
Last year I had the opportunity to be a part of an amazing mentorship program that the Aspen Middle School conducts annually with their 6th-grade students. I was approached by an impressive 11-year old girl who asked if I would be willing to participate in the program as her mentor for ski mountaineering.
Treasure Mountain
We finally skied Treasure Mountain. The massive 13,528 foot mountain outside of Marble, Colorado can be seen from high points all around the Elk Range.
About Christy & Ted
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
