A large and snowy winter has just slightly loosened it's grip on the San Juan mountains, evidence of avalanches having come down is all around. Several diverse groups have assembled in the trail head parking lots at the top of the pass for extensive touring on skis, snowboards, split boards, snow shoes and plain 'ol feet for some winter fun. It brings joy for a day or more to the young people who ski under the great blue sky, or become enveloped in a thick cloud of snow falling from everywhere. This has been a good year to teach conservative decision making lessons in the backcountry. I will post a couple of photos from some various trips. Thanks for making the adventures happen.
Up next, spring ski season: we hope and plan to make longer and overnight ski camping trips, to explore new places, and watch as this great stored mass of water begins to melt on its way to the sea!
