Ashcroft
After ringing in the new year, we decided to head out on a ski tour to Ashcroft, a favorite zone near Aspen.

Mount Blaurock

Otztal Traverse
A six-day hut and ski traverse through the Otztal region of the Tyrloean Alps.
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.
Spring Season
The days are longer, the temperatures warmer, and the snowpack, though thin, is stablizing. We love the arrival of spring because it signifies the start of our backcountry ski touring season.
