Weekend at Pierre’s

Weekend at Pierre’s

Aug 16, 2008

Sometime around mid-August we are all ready for a break from the summer season. Between the traffic and resulting people, the heat and the apex of the busy work season, the overall hectic pace of life in and around Aspen usually results in a desire to just ‘get out’ for a bit. Sometimes all that is needed is some sort of catalyst. Saturday was my birthday. And with that said, the trip up to the remote lakes bearing the name...

Grizzly & the local ‘Big 10’ Wrap-up

Grizzly & the local ‘Big 10’ Wrap-up

Jun 27, 2008

At 13,988 ft., Grizzly Peak is the tallest 13er in the state and a regular on many ski mountaineers spring tick list. Dirk and I found it in pretty good shape last Thursday. [singlepic=13,361,500,,center] Technically, Grizzly falls in the Sawatch Range and not in the Elks but with popular access beginning a short way up Independence Pass on the Aspen side, it feels pretty local. If you put together a list...

Snowmass Mountain and Hagerman Peak

May 26, 2008

Memorial Day Weekend – The Official Summer Kickoff Someone needs to let Snowmass Lake know it’s Memorial Day weekend and not midwinter. It’s still totally frozen up there. Christy, Josh Hirshberg and I headed that way last Saturday for a few days. Getting up the 8 mile trail is adventure enough for most. We had two peaks to ski– Snowmass Mountain and Hagerman Peak. Christy was happy that what in...

Christy, with the East Face of Siberia Peak behind. Route: West Face Team: Ted, Christy, Dirk Bockelmann Take two. I skied “on” Snowmass Mountain back in 2002, but couldn’t claim it as a summit descent. So after Pikes Peak last week, I rallied Dirk and Christy for what has become our annual Memorial Day Weekend 14er ski trip and we headed over to Marble. A new side of the mountain...

Snowmass Mountain Ski Descent – 5.20.02

Jeremy on the summit, shot with a disposable camera. Route: East Face Team: Ted, Jeremy Barbin Snowmass Mountain has always been a favorite. Part of its allure lies in its remoteness, the fact that you can only really see it from other exciting locales. Backpacks, peak climbs and backcountry ski tours bring the mountain into sight, when I see it I must be doing something fun, like a reward for...

White Rim in a Day was going great, until it wasn’t. 🚴🚑🤕 At mile 91, five miles from the end, a careless drift into a rut sent me over the bars and onto my left shoulder- broken clavicle and two ribs… ouch! 👎 Thankfully, we were nearly at the car so getting out wasn’t too bad, it actually could have been a lot worse if the crash happened elsewhere. Driving out from Mineral Bottom didn’t feel good on the ribs but soon enough we were on our way home and to the ER by midnight. 🏥 Three days later (Friday) my collarbone was put back together 🛠 and, with some time, should be 100% 👍😀 Thanks to @ajdocken and @jpettlinger for a fun day and for getting me out of there! 🙏👊 So that’s a wrap for my summer/fall season, time to start thinking ahead to winter ❄️⛷🎿 see you then!

Feeling grateful for the last few days and time sp Feeling grateful for the last few days and time spent with this living legend. Thank you @reinholdmessner_official for coming to our mountain community to share your beautiful perspective on adventure, life, and challenges. A good reminder that mountains are not there for summits, but to give us opportunities to learn about ourselves. #kalipè #Alwayswithsmallsteps #mindbodyspirit #lettheoutsidein
“If we do not take action to stop the effects of “If we do not take action to stop the effects of climate change, some of which we’re already experiencing, the hut experience that we know and love might cease to exist.”

So proud of the work @10thmtnhuts is doing around climate - from wildland fire mitigation plans, renewable energy, to motivating hut users to stand up for climate friendly policies. 

Thanks for the feature article @backcountrymag and @tessjweaver And for the incredible leadership of Ben Dodge and our board!
