Red Mountain Pass

John and I began the new year with six wonderful days of skiing. Five of the six days were in the back country. The best part was beginning the year with a ski trip to Red Mountain Pass and skiing the beautiful San Juan mountains. On January third, we skied US Basin. The trail reaches an elevation of over 10,000 feet and requires climbing skins and avalanche gear. Skiing through the trees and first tracks are well worth the climbing. We had a great group of people on this trip. There were thirteen for most of the trip and one of the nights we had fifteen people! I can't imagine a better group of friends and family. The skiing was amazing!



A little blurry, but I think thats most of us.




Getting ready to go...




Earing our turns...



An absolutely beautiful day of skiing.
