Next: Just in case you are not here in Colorado the snow is not stopping, and we are under another winter storm warning. 18 to 36" by Friday. The Deck:
That pile to the right in the foreground is the patio furniture. That thing to the left is a chimenea that is about six feet tall. The snow just keeps coming. That might explain why posts have been few and far between, but that is lame. Anyway, been getting out some and have done a few events, but have generally had a lull in adventures lately. I was going to try to update this with each event/adventure, but then I got behind and updating becomes onerous itself. Have done a few events and have blown off a few events. Did the Winter Wild wando wace from Snowmass to Buttermilk, did the Leadville Mountain Bike Race (as recounted at www.edemtbs.blogspot.com), but blew off CB Alley Loops based on the long drive and horrendous driving weather (good sking weather). Been trying to skin and get some nordic in, but mostly have been trying to practice tele turns in deep snow, which just keeps coming, for Japan.
Here are a few shots from a morning skin at Tiehack. This is last week I think? Notice the bright ball of burning hydrogen in the sky. Haven't seen too much of it this year, but no, I will not examine the dentistry of an equine gratuity . . . .
Up the front of Tie Hack. Note the good snow:
Gaining the ridge and the views open up. Some people stop there.
Higher up looking east over Aspen Mountain.
Mr. C. Focker gets ready to ski at the top. Note the Moon above.
That's it for now kids. Get out there, this year is one of the big ones.
