Tagert Hut Christmas

Tagert Hut Christmas

Dec 29, 2018

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.

We escaped the busy-ness of Aspen during the holidays and spent Christmas Eve up at Green-Wilson Hut, one of the Braun Huts above Ashcroft.

Mace Peak Loop

Cresting Mace Saddle, the high point of the loop around Mace Peak. A week of sun and warm temps crusted up the powder in the backcountry, so we thought a different type of ski tour was in order. We grabbed the light skis and made a loop around nearby Mace Peak. (more…)

It was far from a “White Christmas” around Aspen this year, but we did manage to find a little bit of powder up in the Pearl Pass area. (Christy here) For the second year in a row, we escaped the hustle-and-bustle of the holidays in Aspen to meet friends at the Green-Wilson hut for Christmas. Starting from Ashcroft on Christmas Eve afternoon, we skinned the five-plus miles to the hut...

14er Ski Descents – Castle Peak – April 2, 2011

Apr 4, 2011

Stormin’ the Castle Adam on the East Face. The days are longer, the temperatures milder and the lines are more filled in- it just feels and looks like spring. Seizing a sunny day between spring storms that have been dumping on us lately, Anda Smalls, Adam Mosczynski, Christy and I set out to climb Castle Peak and ski its East Face. It was a great day by all accounts– blue...

A Christmas Day Getaway

A Christmas Day Getaway

Dec 27, 2010

Christy prances through the snow. The holiday season is upon us, and if you live and work in a resort town such as Aspen, it’s not quite the vacation you might think. Everything and everyone is maxed out– the mountain is busy, you work everyday, town is packed, you can’t park anywhere or walk into a restaurant without a reservation. Of course the business/ busy-ness is welcome, but by the...

Super-psyched to finally ride the classic White Ri Super-psyched to finally ride the classic White Rim in a day. 🚴🙏🌵After a half dozen multi-day trips on this iconic loop in @canyonlandsnps it was fun to load up the bikes with everything we would need to cover 100-ish miles through the beautiful Utah desert in a single push. Six liters of water, food for twelve hours, enough repair and emergency kits items to fix most problems, and the three of us were off. 🚴 it was so much fun I can see why so bikers make this an annual outing. I’m already thinking about tweaks for next year! Thx to @ajdocken and @jpettlinger for being a part of it. 🍻🍻🍻#whiterim #islandinthesky #utah #desert #nationalpark #mountainbiking #longday #alwaysgo

Last harvest before the snow! 🥕 Sad to have to Last harvest before the snow! 🥕 Sad to have to buy vegetables again. But I guess a longer growing season would mean less skiing…so that doesn’t work. #winteriscoming #slowfood #sustainableag #gooddirt #aspencommunitygarden

We did it! Finished the @wildwomenultra @forranger We did it! Finished the @wildwomenultra @forrangers run hand in hand - with @kipchogeeliud no less! It’s hard to put the experience into worlds but the opportunity to run through five wildlife conservancies in Kenya with people who are devoting their lives to saving and protecting this incredible place was so WILD and inspiring. I’m so proud of our team who made it every step of the way! Thank you to everyone who helped raise funds for @forrangers! And thank to @kipchogeeliud for joining and inspiring us the last day! Unbelievable! @lewa_wildlife @boranaconservancy @oljogi @elkaramalodge @stio #forrangers #wildliferangers #conservationp #nohumanislimited #lettheoutsidein

Today started with diving into waterfalls but ende Today started with diving into waterfalls but ended @lewa_wildlife for a special visit the @forrangers headquarters where we got an amazing briefing on the sophisticated security systems they have set up to not only protect wildlife from poachers but also diffusing human conflict around livestock thief and creating solutions for both communities and wildlife. So cool to see how people are coming together to address wildlife conservation and the pressures of population growth, drought, etc. in Africa. These teams are truly making a difference and your support is going to an amazing cause! Thank you again to everyone who has given! @forrangers @boranaconservancy @lewa_wildlife @conserveglobal #forrangers #wildliferangers #wildlifeconservation #protectwildlife #supportrangers
