Open for Season

Here is a photo of skiing today in and area called Georgia gulch, above Silverton. Is skiing that important? Why is this Mountain Goat guy always writing about flying and floating and powder snow flying up around yo' face? No where else can a machine or creature descend a rugged snowy mountain like a human on skis. We get out into the highest ridge country, the top of the state of Colorado, and we just cruise. Looking for lines of esthetic beauty, ways to flow like a drop of water down with old gravity. When we find a line we just turn our head and our skis follow and the next thing is we are going 60 mph with wind in our hair letting fly with the biggest yeeeeeehaaaaaawww that ever was heard. Oh wait, just kidding I was day dreaming again. Backcountry skiing is inherently dangerous and requires scientific understanding of snow and conservative decision making. Mountain goat recommends avalanche school to everyone. We are open for business, come design the trip of your daydreams. Happy, safe winter to all.
