We were supposed to get lots of snow last week, somehow it all missed us, oh well. Skiing is still good enough. And I sent a 5.12b that had been kicking my ass for too long yesterday.

Indeed, Wheeler is a 4,000 m peak.

Did a little Santa Fe tour yesterday.

Lake Peak is an easily accessible zone with great terrain. Now if it would just snow some more.

Lifetime achievement type goals are visible in this one. Shhhhhhhhhh.

From the vantage of the last two photos we skied 1,600 vf of untracked pow in beautifully spaced trees. That was fun!
