Back on track
Well the season has been amazing so far. Started off with Dreamweaver and Dark Star on the north face of Mt Meeker in RMNP.
Then EV came into play.
At this point my knee was feeling good so I decided to get back in shape by skiing some 14ers. I only have 4 left to ski so I figured I would revisit some old friends. First came Blanca then Ellingwood Point. Slogging up the Como road is just that a slog but with a old cabin at the lake it makes for good winter camping. Blanca was cold and it never got above -20 but it was deep so I enjoyed it.
Ellingwood Point was looking sketch so we went home and came back the next weekend for it.
It skied good so I figured lets go to Telluride next and hit Mt Wilson. Telluride has been the definition of low tide this year and a week of crazy warm temps gave us a safe window to get it done. Here's a shot from the summit looking at El Diente. Diente is nasty and the north face was one of my favorite ski descents in the entire project so far.
After this it was back to the Sangres for Kit Carson.
Then some EV was needed.
After skiing a bunch of ice climbs I went for Challenger Point and it delivered.
Here's some footage from this season and thanks for reading. http://youtu.be/RZEmRcCEvFs

FKNA that is some Grade A stoke and a pretty dandy long term goal as well. Such a cool project skiing all of them.
1000 extra gnar points for that first drop in.

I admit I only read 2 sentences. Way too chopped up to read. The pictures feel amazing though. So much fun to look at
