Hi all, I’ve been on a fourteener skiing road trip since past Friday. Didn’t have enough internet access to “road blog,” look for full report sometime later today. Tried a new route on El Diente with Jason Troth, then joined up with the Davenport crew for a fun scrappy (and physically exhausting) ski of Ellingwood in the Sangres. More later.
