Got some major precip for the last few days here in central Colorado. Headed up Independence Pass today to partake. In this photo, Kevin Dunnett enjoys the goods on Blue Peak. June powder! |
Our crew from this morning, (left to right) Steve Marolt, Mike Marolt, Kevin Dunnett, Louie Dawson. The Marolts are known for the skiing they’ve done on 8,000 meter peaks. Interesting skiing with guys who say things like, "wow, this is kind of like the North Ridge of Everest." Perhaps there is hope for Louie and I? |
