    What are your late spring summer ski descent objectives?

    I'm looking at Mt Ouray and Chipeta which I look at every day. I usually drive up and ski Mt Taylor too.
    I'll probably hit Mt Aetna in a week or two.

    Ouray has been looking good. Just skied Twin Peaks above Twin Lakes, that line never comes into shape and will go down as one of my favorite descents in CO. The Sawatch and Sangres are doing pretty good- even Shavano is in from the summit.

    This one (pic from last June)? I want to ski it. Seems like the right time. Too bad I am not allowed to leave penalty free quite yet.

    Was talking with a couple buddies about skiing La Plata this year, then one of them decided to tear an ACL and now I doubt I'll be able to get the other to commit. So... if I want it I'll have to find other partners.

    Got that one a couple years ago, super fun ski.
    The older I get, the faster I was.

    Yeah Sky, that one. Below the face it was a twisting couloir that you can't see in your photo. 3500', not bad for CO.

    Yeah, I was ogling it last spring and it looked super choice to me. Spent the night right by the base of it before doing Hope. With the right conditions, that's my kind of approach. Nice one.

    Adams SW chutes, south ingalls peak + environs, the cascadian col if the logistics pan out. And then I'll while away the summer at silver peak and the thumbtack patch, ha!
