Its October again in CO, and somehow, quicker than expected, again, its winter. The topper and the ladder rack came of the veggie rig today, and the camper is going in the bed of the truck. Skis are out and ready to go (not tuned, ever, but ready to go), dogs are fired up, and everything seems to be in order.
Now, understand that we are skiers, some of the most dedicated at that. People often ask where we were all day, and the answer is pretty simple. We walked, and walked, then put the skins on and climbed and climbed, and halfway up the final face, when we decided we were high enough for what the conditions dictated, we skied. Ten turns, maybe 12, and then the 2-3 hour ski/hike out. "All that work for 15 seconds of skiing?" "Yup" is the instant response. And if you get it, you get it.
Enjoy
stay tuned for more living....
