First Splitboard of the Year
November 5, 2015 Jeff Kepler, Pat “Perry” Johnson, and I ventured into the front range and were able to find some deeper snow and fun pow turns early this morning.

Mt. Edwards / Argentine Peak / Mt. Wilcox / Square Top Mountain A

T-shirt weather in the alpine doesn’t come around too often this late in the season and we relished the warm weather all day. We made our way from Peru Creek to the summit of Mt. Edwards and then we were off to Argentine Peak. After a quick break at the summit we headed to Mt. Wilcox via its rolling ridge.

We did not waste much time on the summit with the mountains engulfed in clouds and a chilling temperature in the air.Read More »Mt. Bierstadt / Mt. Evans Sawtooth Traverse
