Longs Peak North Face Ski Descent – 5.14.05
An amazing powder ski of the North Face of Longs Peak.
Mount Massive – South Slopes – 5.12.05
The view to the south before the overcast conditions took over. Route: South Slopes form Halfmoon Creek Team: Ted (solo) For a while, I just couldn’t seem to catch Mount Massive right. Apart from deteriorating weather and high winds as the day progressed, an earlier solo attempt a week prior proved completely demoralizing. On that day, I aimed for the east side of the mountain. After several miles of solo...
Huron Peak Solo Ski Descent – 5.5.05
Solo shot on the summit. Route: Northwest Face Team: Ted Huron would be straightforward. I had been up this trail twice before and felt it to be safe for a solo ski. The snow closure and subsequent car camp was at the Winfield ghost town. Early the next morning I skinned from the car on very frozen snow, and with a few solo days behind me this spring I was...
Pikes Peak Ski Descent – 4.20.05
Route: West Face Team: Ted (solo) I drove south from Mount Yale towards Humboldt Peak, and camped at the South Colony Lakes trailhead. The five mile jeep road was completely snow covered, which took me by surprise. I had expected to drive a good stretch of the road so as I crawled into my sleeping bag I was none too psyched about the bonus distance added to the morning. All...

Mount Sherman Ski Descent – 5.24.04
I’ll have to move faster if I want to make the self-timer photo. Route: South Slopes Team: Ted (solo) Ahh, the mighty Mount Sherman. Quite a change from the Wilson group just a few days earlier. It was the perfect peak to wind down on after an aggressive May (ten peaks in fourteen days). Being unable to sell a day trip to anyone I knew, I went alone. From the...
Wilson Peak Ski Descent – 5.20.04
A 2004 ski descent of the Northwest side of Wilson Peak.
