Ladies Night at Neptune’s
The poster says it all. See you at Neptune Mountaineering in Boulder next Thursday.
Wrapping it up on Mount Baker
Christy and Dav make their way up Mount Baker’s Coleman-Deming route. Our 2011-12 ski season salvage operation has come to a close. Two weeks in Canada and a week in the Northwest helped make up for the somewhat lackluster winter we had in Aspen. Now it’s time for summer. There’s a small chance we’ll ski again here in Colorado, but for now, Christy and I figure Mount Baker was our...
Mount Rainier in a day
Ski Mount Rainier in a day? Sure, just get an early start.
A Volcano Tour Update
Sierra Slayer Glen Poulsen and friends joined the Volcano Tour for a couple of days, including this one on Mt. Hood’s Cooper Spur. What an incredible trip this has been. Since joining Chris Davenport and friends on the Spyder Volcano Tour last weekend we’ve skied Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt. St. Helens. We’ve caught up with old friends, met loads of new ones, toured parts of the Northwest we’ve...
And we’re off, again
The Spyder Volcano Tour land yacht, our home for the next week. It’s a quick turnaround. Since returning from Canada earlier this week, Christy’s bags pretty much remained packed– with only the clothes that needed a visit to the laundry room having been pulled out and since put back clean. (more…)
Fairy Meadow – 2nd set
Sean, Friendship Col, opens the second set here. Here are a few more from the week. (more…)
Fairy Meadow – 1st set
Bianca, from Quebec, charges down from Friendship Col. Everyone who ever told me that Fairy Meadow was a “must-do” was right. The place rocks. Joey, Sean, Brad Buyers, Christy, and I joined a group of 12 Canadians (including Greg Franson and Jesse Berg from our Bugs to Rogers Traverse last year) for a week up at the hut in the Adamant Mountains. We finally got a bit of the skiing...
Heading Out
It’s time for some spring adventures. We’re off to Canada again. The map and route of the Wapta Traverse. Sean and I are doing the Wapta Traverse, a hut-to-hut ski tour similar in style to Europe’s Haute Route. (more…)
Easter Bunny Peak
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 Pearl Couloir
Sean skiing the Pearl Couloir. Earlier this week, a group of us went out for our first real backcountry ski day of the season. Better late than never. Sure, we’ve been in the backcountry on mellow tours through moderate terrain, but conditions and snowfall haven’t been suitable for taking on anything more. Now that we’re into spring and the instabilities that existed through the winter have been nullified somewhat by...
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
