Just finished a long day in Silverton. I am too tired to post pictures now. I don't really think I got any great shots but will sift thru the detritus tomorrow. Snow is getting deap up yonder way.
 
ok- Met up with my ski partner Bridget from Telluride. Afetr a quick beacon check in the parking lot up we go.
The lift here is an old fixed grip from mammoth.

At the bottom of "mandatory" is a section called two smokes. Yesterday I figured why it is called that. Because there is time for two smokes while whoever is skitching down the waterfall on a fixed rope piece of crap old gold line.
I got so tangled up in that cotton picking thing I lost a ski and cursed a blue streak. Someone left the rope tangled in a little sapling so I had a time.
Here is Bridget coming down.
