  • Quite the sunset last night at a PM #lululemon sesh out at Horsethief Point. Thx @thugyoga @lululemonaspen #desert #sunset @lululemon
  • Morning Glory Arch. Pretty impressive, even in the afternoon.
  • A beautiful, almost wintry day up high in the Maroon Creek Valley today, on the inaugural Colorado Public Lands Day. Colorado is the 1st state in the nation to establish its own such holiday which is to be held on the third Saturday in May each year. Go #colorado #copubliclandsday ---#backcountryskiing #stillskiing #skimountaineering #skithe13ers #secondseason
  • Ski mountaineering- it's not all sun, summits, and powder. Though your Instagram feed might imply otherwise this time of year.
  • The North Face of University Peak, 13,632 ft., high in the Onion Valley. Another awesome outing in the high #Sierras ---⛷: @aspenchristy #backcountryskiing #roadtrip #followthesnow @kaestleski @kaestleski #tx98
  • South Lake, Bishop, CA. #Sierras #roadtrip #backcountryskiing #followthesnow
  • Slow down. Sometimes a good rule to follow. The snow wasn't softening as we expected so we opted to take our time on the ascent to allow things to soften, plus it allowed more time to catch with old friends. I think it worked out beautifully. Thx @sierraskijournal @jlisagor @glenpoulsen and Red for taking @aspenchristy and me on the sweet tour through a super cool spot in the #Sierras See you next time.
  • Absolutely perfect day to climb and ski Mount Whitney, 14,495 ft., the tallest mountain in the lower 48. Climbed the Mountaineers Route to summit, skied the North Face down to Boy Scout Lake and home. What a mountain and what a day. Thx for joining @dougstenclik @makingturns Maddie as well as @alex_taran #Sierras #ski14ers #roadtrip #skimountaineering #mountwhitney - - @kaestleski #tx98 #kaestle @strafeouterwear #athomeinthemountains @corbeaux_clothing #jointheflight @honeystinger #hshive
  • Not sure why they call it Death Valley - it was about as nice as it gets for trail running. It was stormy in the #Sierras so we opted against skiing and headed to drier and warmer climes. Apparently winter weather in the Eastern Sierras means 80deg and pleasant in @deathvalleynps. Good to know. Ran Golden Canyon to Zabriskie Overlook and back thru Gower Canyon.👍🏻👍🏻 🏃‍♀️-@aspenchristy - - - #trailrunning #nationalpark #desert @honeystinger #hshive #lululemon @lululemonaspen

  • Fun to honor Colorado's 1st ever Public Lands Day today by celebrating local legend Len Shoemaker! Len was one of our most beloved Forest Rangers for the White River National Forest during the 1930s. Many of the trails and access we have today is because of his dedication to our public lands. Thanks Len, and to all those who help us enjoy the backcountry as we do! #13631 #skithe13ers #COPublicLandsDay #itsallyours
  • The generosity of the mountains and those that roam around in them, is one of the greatest things in life. (besides mom's) Thank you East Sierra and friends! @sierraskijournal @jlisagor @glenpoulsen @stiomountain @kaestleski #cornfest2017 #monolake #tufa
  • You can just feel the mountaineering history up here! It was an amazing day for skiing Mount Whitney, the highest summit in the contiguous United States and the Sierra with an elevation of 14,505 feet. #coloradotakeover #friendsonthetrails @kaestleski #forskiers @stiomountain #letheoutsidein #skithe14ers
  • I don't know what's better the mountains, the trees, or the birds! Total ski naturalist overload! Learning the ropes out here in the east sierra. University Peak #13632 offered awesome northeast couloirs and a high snow line, whew! #bluegrouse #ancientbristleconepineforest #skithe13ers #kaestleski #tx98 @kaestleski @stiomountain #letheoutsidein 📷 @tedmahon
  • At first glance, Death Valley didn't seem to have much to offer. At the low elevation of -190 feet, we felt highly out of our element. However, upon return and a more in-depth look, the largest National Park @deathvalleynps offered amazing golden canyons, crazy red amphitheaters, and a stunning artist palette. @tedmahon was so lucky it was a cool 77 degrees #hikedeathvalley #alwaysgo #badlandsloop
  • No longer California dreamin'... So psyched to have my first experience in the East Sierra! Skied my 1st California 14er today and the North East couloir on Mt. Langley delivered! #iaminlove #skibirding #sierratrees #holyvertical #alwaysgo @tedmahon @stiomountain @kaestleski #tx98 #forskiers #kaestleski #skithe14ers #14042 #alabamahills
  • Treasuring every mountain moment... #13erskiing #TreasureMountain #13528ft #secondseason #skibirding @tedmahon @stiomountain @kastle #kaestleski #tx98 #forskiers
  • Mission Accomplished! This was one of the most special summits of my life, skiing Quandary Peak, 14,265ft, with my friend and 11 year old (almost 12) ski mountaineering mentee. What started a year ago, as part of Aspen Middle School's 6th grade mentorship program, which challenges students to connect with a person and/or field that they feel passionate about, has ended in a lifetime friendship and her 1st 14er ski. 17 years ago, I skied this peak with my now husband @tedmahon, and it opened my eyes to a completely new world. Today, I was able to give that experience back to someone really special. I look forward to seeing where the next 17 years will take her. Way to rock it E! @stiomountain @kaestleski #skibirding #6thgradementorship #aspenmiddleschool #14erskiing
