Always a beautiful thing, 23 years and lots of hot dogs later our informal annual “BBQ on the Pass 2016” saw at least 75 bratwurst consuming ski mountaineers catching up with friends and new friends up on beautiful Independence Pass. Luckily you can access more than a hundred square miles of
ski touring terrain in this area of Colorado, as we counted more than 50 cars full of skiers at the Hairpin trailhead, with reports of at least a hundred cars at the Pass summit. Thanks all for showing up, let’s do it again next year only bigger!
His Blogness keeps the tradition going.

It’s all about friends and getting out to do it again tomorrow. Colorado spring 2016.
While most of the WildSnow backcountry skiing blog posts are best attributed to a single author, some work well as done by the group.
