Steep... I'm not used to translating the slopes I ski into degrees, but
suffice it to say I'm comfortable on all slopes of Sun Valley, Telluride,
and Whistler. I tend to seek the steeper and deeper.


If it's deep, it's not steep.


Its neither deep nor steep at Sun Valley. The other two have their
moments.

Define deep.

Is there a way to access your whole collection of (superb) backcountry
images? I've tried going to

http://www.xmission.com/~kurt/images/

and get back a page titled "Directory Listing of /~kurt/images/" but no
files get listed, just a link to "Previous Directory". (Mac OS 9.2,
Netscape Communicator).

Yeh, I would too, knowing that you are going to track all that powder
first. There's no friends on powder days.

What's funny about that picture is what you don't see. As I was
carefully sideslipping over the cornice with major pucker factor, the
dog leaped over the edge, moved down to the soft snow, and then looked
up at me wondering what was taking me so long.

RMNP only got 10 inches out if it.
I'd like to ask a couple questions about some hills in your area but
your email is spam proofed. Change ed to iglooed on mine to reply.
