Mt. Democrat March 18th

Well I skied my first 14er yesterday so I figure its time to stop lurking in the padded room and actually contribute something other than hours of wasted time...

Two of my friends and I had a "research day" with no class so, naturally, we decided to go skiing. We wanted to get high, so we settled on Mt. Democrat as it is a relatively easy/short 14er. The chica in our group brought along her new pup, Rose, who felt snow for the first time at Kite lake and then proceeded to run laps around us on the ascent. We left the Springs around 6:45 and after a $200 dollar speeding ticket made it to the TH at 10:00. We initially thought we were gonna be too late but ended up finding perfect snow for boot-packing on the ascent and great spring snow through the South face chutes on the descent. Towards the bottom the snow was slush but that's to be expected, made it back to the car around 1:15. Check out some pictures below:

All in all a great day on the snow.

Awesome first post, you set the high so the next post should better. Cool pup

thanks. rose is a husky I believe so I guess snow is in her DNA. and this was the 28th not the 18th by the way.

Looks more like June than March, but fun nevertheless

Nice pics man. I had to double-check the date to make sure it wasn't some old post from June that got bumped. I was wrong. My Colorado trip may not have much skiing the 7th to the 14th.
