Red Mtn. was closed this morning so it was a looooong drive back through Durango (after a single lane was cleared down the road...pretty wild). -K I wish I could have been there. Maybe another time. I was in the front range over the weekend instead. Caught some good music, but didn't do that. Monarch was great on Friday (played hooky), so the weekend wasn't a total loss (in terms of skiing). Did you guys manage to fill the cat with good skiers? Matt |

Our cat (the second one) ended up only having 7 folks on it. Everyone was up to the task. We made 13(?) runs, I think. Silverton was pretty killer as well. Next time, mah man, next time........ -T.O.M.- |

There were only a couple runs where the snowcat beat us down the hill. A good group for those conditions and the terrain. Of course the guyz in the other cat didn't get the amenities we had, you know, bare nekkid ladies 'n stuff. For the most part. We did have to deal with 3 telemarkers, but once they started doing parallel turns everything went pretty smoothly. Uh-huh, dream on alpine boy. Bob might have bailed into a few parallel turns, but I can't ski powder parallel--only hardpack (like the cat track). Jack wasn't paralleling either. -K Telepine in powder is dangerous territory for sure! Without that foot back you're just waiting for a slightly thicker, deeper, or haevier patch of snow to induce the dreded toe pivot/head plant! Matt |
