April Snow Showers Bring May Flowers?

What do you do when you get over a foot of snow at the end of April? Options, moan and groan or embrace it? And somewhere in your soul you reach deep....so you track down one of your best fiends for a run up the steepest hill in town, shovel the driveway - twice, have a snowball fight and build the coolest snowman in town!

Naked Lady Madness


So, what exactly happens at a Naked Lady Party, I can not say! But I will say its pretty amazing to look across the room and see all these highly intelligent, motivated, and truly amazing women....Makes me very thankful for all the people in my life!

Ski Tracks - And realizing I've learned a thing or two.....

Last year Billmeier and I did this route - Ski Tracks up Ptarmigan. I can remember how accomplished I felt afterwards....a big day, alpine style, big mountain....all somewhat new and exciting.....So, when Jon mentioned he wanted to go, I jumped on the opportunity.

Jon heading out to the route.

View from the third-ish pitch!

Of course the top-out shot....and the views across the way....color swapped!


Once again the day was long, but much more causal, I lead a pitch,
we explored new possible routes, I didn't carry my skies, and a northern lights display were are reward for the efforts of the day!
