Longs Peak North Face  Ski Descent – 5.14.05

Longs Peak North Face Ski Descent – 5.14.05

May 14, 2005

Sean skis by Chasm View. Don’t fall through the notch. Route: North Face to Trough Couloir Team: Ted, Christy, Dirk Bockelmann, Sean Shean Longs was the best. If I had to pick one day that stuck out as my favorite to date, it would be Longs Peak. Winter snow on the steep North Face was part of it, success after an uncertain and very long day added something, but most...

Castle Peak Ski Descent – 5.7.04

Castle Peak Ski Descent – 5.7.04

Oct 7, 2004

It’s amazing what a good day you have up in Montezuma Basin in October. Since Dirk and I were headed out on a climbing trip to Ecuador in a week or so we wanted some time up high. A bluebird day with easy skiing snow greeted us.

El Diente Ski Descent – 5.19.04

El Diente Ski Descent – 5.19.04

May 19, 2004

Skiing was easy on the soft, north facing snow. Route: North Face Team: Ted, Dirk Bockelmann After some pretty good days so far this spring (we were just in the Sangres), and with a week remaining before work starts up, I figured I should keep charging. Dirk was free as well, so we decided to head down to the San Juans with the three peaks of the Wilson group in...

East Face of Castle Peak – 4.20.04

Uncompahgre Peak West Face Ski Descent – 4.17.04

Uncompahgre Peak West Face Ski Descent – 4.17.04

Apr 17, 2004

Once on the summit plateau, unwelcome weather arrived. Route: West Face Team: Christy, Ted In a week we were headed to Europe to ski the Haute Route, the classic ski trip connecting the towns of Chamonix and Zermatt. So in an effort to prep for the tour, we decided to head to Lake City for a weekend trip. We made our way there Friday afternoon, staying in a Lake City...

Mount Eolus Ski Descent – 5.9.00

Mount Eolus Ski Descent – 5.9.00

May 9, 2000

Route: East Couloir Team: Ted, Chris Carmichael After a full down day in camp due to weather, the next morning was just perfect. Since our day on Sunlight and Windom, about six inches of snow had fallen. Chris and I headed up towards South Eolus, Dave would sit this one out. It was easy skinning to the base of the East Couloir, the type of snow skins just love. We...

Windom Peak Ski Descent – 5.7.00

Windom Peak Ski Descent – 5.7.00

May 7, 2000

Route: Widowmaker (NW) Couloir Team: ted, Chris Carmichael, Dave Rhodes If you just came off Sunlight, then Windom naturally follows. Less than 1000 vertical feet and about a half mile away, to get one and not try for the other after getting this far away from home is crazy. For skiers it’s even more sensible, Sunlight’s ski line faces south and Windom’s northwest so it’s a perfect one-two from high...

Mount Sneffels Ski Descent- 5.1.00

Mount Sneffels Ski Descent- 5.1.00

May 1, 2000

Route: South Face to Lavendar Col Team: Ted, Jann Stoeckl In June, Jann Stoeckl and I were headed to Denali with Aspen friends Sean Shean and Brad Smith. The four of us had the month of May to prep for what would be my biggest trip to date. This seemed to fit as preparation. We drove to Ouray and then up the Camp Bird Mine Road until snow stopped us,...

What’s the tallest named “hill” in the count What’s the tallest named “hill” in the country? (hint: it’s elevation is 13,761 ft.) ⛷🏔 the #colorado #ski13ers #backcountryskiing season is winding down. Still some good 🌽❄️ to be found but it’s going quick ☀️☀️☀️
Making the best of challenging snow conditions las Making the best of challenging snow conditions last weekend in the San Juans. It’s always better to be skiing than not, right? ⛷
It’s disappointing to have the spring season trashed by airborne dust and dirt though. 👎 Experts say the continuing drought in the American West is all but ensuring this spring phenomenon will happen with increasing frequency— and even earlier in the season— in the years ahead. 👎 Let’s hope those forecasts are wrong. The spring backcountry season is already short enough. 📷 @aspenchristy
