The East Face of Thunder Pyramid – 13,832 ft.
This was nothing short of a spectacular day. Chris Davenport and I agreed that skiing Thunder Pyramid’s steep Southeast Face was one of our favorite steep lines in all of the Elk Mountains.
Capitol Peak Ski Descent – 4.20.08
After the steep finish to the ridge the exposure stayed high. We gained this upper section at the saddle in the center of the photo, it’s a burly finish and a committing ski. Route: West Face Team: Ted, Al Beyer “I’m an architect, I like to think outside the box.” That was Al’s reasoning as to why we should try to ski Capitol Peak from the west, knowing that to...

North Maroon Peak Ski Descent – 6.9.06
Neal skis the June snow. Route: North Face Team: Ted, Neal Beidleman Our day on South Maroon last week was a great day by all accounts.

So after Pikes Peak last week, I rallied Dirk and Christy for what has become our annual Memorial Day Weekend 14er ski trip and we headed over to Marble. A new side of the mountain...
East Face of Pyramid Peak Ski Descent – 4.13.06
Chris, in the big middle section of the Landry Route. Route: East Face Team: Ted, Chris Davenport, Neal Beidleman The advanced planning was minimal, consisting of a couple of organizational calls from Chris, laced with tones of muted optimism. The recon was even more limited. We had a few aerial shots of the route, a line that had only been skied once before back in 1978. The hazards were widely...
