​​In The Shadow of Longs Peak

Rock Creek

07 April 2005

The best spring ski trip ever!  The day before (Saturday) and Friday dumped new snow….3 inches or so down low, even more higher up.

We walked with our skis passed that first open area where we sometimes park.  There was breakable crust underneath but it did not pose too much of a problem. 

The bigger problem was the constant moving upward – I whined the whole way!

It was a perfect day with no wind.  I can’t believe I did not go all the way to the top and try and find those glades I like so much…
