Spring Update from Mtn Goat


The winter of 09/10 offered Mountain Goat many memorable trips with good people. Diverse groups were able to attend several new and experimental courses, such as Intro to Ski guiding, and the Snowqueen weekend! We still find ourselves burning a bit of firewood in our homes and a recent 3 inch dusting made the mountains white again. This realm of Silverton is truly a bastion for winter to make itself comfortable and stay a while. Elk are moving up with the snowline and the winter hardy perennial flowers of the alpine tundra are peeking their heads up on the sun warmed slopes. Here is a photo from a personal ski trip in the Weminuche wilderness area. Thanks everyone who helped out as guides, and many thanks to teachers, organizers and those of you hardy folks who came on down to Silvertown. Git yer paws inside 'fore sundown! If anyone wants to book for next year just call down. Ski near the old mines before they fall down. Ski through the glades 'fore they blow down! 970-903-7892. Enjoy spring, I won't be writing too much over the summer., 'cept with a pen. MB.
