My ski season is finally over. I blogged about it on the Backcountry.com Blog that I run. The camera is still broken so I had to “borrow” some images from SummitPost.org. With skiing on July 6 it meant that my 2006-2007 ski season was 9 months and 2 weeks long, or 307 days long. Not bad at all for what some would say was one of the worst ski seasons in recent history. Complainers!
In other skiing news Chris Davenport was up on Denali with a crew of skiers that included Nick Devore and photographer Adam Clark and they managed to ski a PILE of first descents and proud lines. What a coup. One of these days I want to climb and ski Denali – or just hang out at the 14,000′ camp and ski lines while bumming fuel and food off of climbers who are descending. Check out the image of the lines that they skied by clicking above.
And lastly, I read a very sad story that reminded me how a good day of summer skiing can go tragically wrong in a hurry. My sincere condolences to Tom’s family and my sincere appreciation to Andy for posting this write up of a skier that was killed on Rollins Pass in Colorado. This sort of thing makes you think twice about the reprocutions of your actions in the hills. RIP Tom.
