Uneva Peak Vail Pass Colorado backcountry skiing

When we heard Friday evening was comedy night at 5Point (Five Point) Film Festival here in Carbondale, Lisa and I agreed, that’s the time to go. After all, you see a few adventure films and sure some are elating and even get you on the edge of your seat, but laughing causes health. So there.

Had a couple of choices for parties last evening. Jordan White’s 14er skiing victory shindig was the one. After all, who can resist a festival where the doorway decorations are a quiver of Dynafit mounted backcountry skiing planks, along with the most worn out pair of AT ski boots on the planet?
