Hut Run Hut 2019

Aug 6, 2019

The summer trail running season is upon us and our Hut Run Hut trips are in full swing. Here’s a look at our first trip back in July.

Hut Run Hut

Hut Run Hut

Sep 27, 2017

A few years back our good friend Rickey Gates organized a guided, multi-day trail running adventure through the 10th Mountain Hut System. He called it the Hut Run Hut. The idea was to lead a group of adventurous trail runners along a roughly 100 mile route between Aspen and Vail. The trip was spread out over 6 days, and visited five different huts along the way.

Back on the skis 🙏🤙 Back on the skis 🙏🤙
These skis bear my name but they’re not mine. Th These skis bear my name but they’re not mine. They’re Ted MacBlane’s. Ted M. passed away last November after a brief, intense struggle with metastatic prostate cancer. The period of time from diagnosis to life support to his final day was so short that many of his friends, including myself, had no idea there was ever anything wrong. Ted was just suddenly gone one day. It came as a shock to everyone who knew him. He was too young, it was too sudden. He and I did a lot together through the years— nordic races, bike rides, tele-skiing at Highlands. We partnered together for several Grand Traverse’s, back in the early days when everyone competed on nordic skis because the light AT skis weren’t around yet. I learned a lot from him. He just knew so much about training and fitness, endurance, racing— as only someone who dedicated their life to it would. And even though we weren’t partnering much in recent years, I always tried to tap into his wisdom whenever I saw him. It’s been a few months since his passing and he’s definitely missed. But in a welcome surprise twist, I’ve been given an additional opportunity to hang out with Ted— Annie thought I should have his nordic skis. After all, they already had my name on them. So now I get to cruise around the track with my old partner Ted M. It’s been a while since I’ve been classic skiing and my technique could use some work. Maybe Ted’s skis will impart some of his excellent nordic form on me. We’ll see. Miss you Ted!

When the hut keeper returns unexpectedly, face the fact that you were totally busted and he can’t wait for you all to leave. 😆 thanks for the aerial acrobatics @i.n.s.t.a.d.a.n.g and JoeyG and for the drinks @aspenchristy 🍸
