The Backcountry Skiing and Ski Mountaineering in Rocky Mountain National Park guidebook is on the shelves, and gracing the cover is a photo of mine-- that of Dirk Bockelmann skiing the North Face of Longs Peak. (more…)

Wildfire Aftermath

Jul 26, 2013

The massive West Fork Complex wildfire that burned out of control for several weeks this summer has been contained, but not before consuming 110,000 acres of forest.
