Living Vicariously part 2... A Crested Butte TR
I had some work in Crested Butte that I needed to take care of this weekend so I planned a weekend trip to the west Elks. DaHeel bailed so it was myself and the Mrs. as we headed out on Friday afternoon. SquirrelMurphey and Dside had been nice enought to offer Mrs. MTS a tour of the area on Saturday. The weather was amazing...bluebird and great temps in the high 20s and low 30s. Mostly scenics here, maybe SM or Dside will add up some of their pics.
After dropping Mrs. MTS off with SM and Dside, they started the climb up here:
Nice Views of town and Mt. Crested Butte:

Not bad:
SM taking a pic of Dside on a pillow line down lower, hard to see in this pic:
Sunday, Squirrelmurpehy and Mrs. MTS got out again for a short but fun tour...nobody took their camera but I took a couple from the parking lot.
Gothic:
Another shot of Gothic and what appears to be a big fracture on the face:
Thanks again to Squirrelmurphey and Dside for being great tour partners with my wife. Next time I'm going too! It was great to meet SydVicious and Z as well, along with the other halves for everyone. Good times! You guys have a free place to stay in Eagle County anytime!ROLL TIDE ROLL

Dside
Group that dropped Wolverine ahead of us dropped a big cornice (by standing on it) and it did this (right of photo). One skier was carried 600', unhurt. Low danger doesn't mean no danger.
My view of Dside's pillow line.
Had a fun day today as well, no pics. Great to meet both of you!
