When and where can we expect to see some video? Looks like a great time and excellent photos as usual. Looks like Louie had on his helmet cam. When and where can we expect to see some video?

Jordan White and friends made the tracks on North. We got to watch them from Snowmass, and got photos (tiny dots on the face). Skied E. Face on Friday, 20th, first day of Spring. Back in my day I wouldn't have thought of skiing the face without climbing it, but I've been schooled by the new generation about how that's not always necessary. If we'd climbed the face, it would have been posthole city, and I knew the way down, so all good. Mark, cool you were up there.

Which day did you actually ski E.Face? 20th? or 21st. Winter or Spring? Four of us hippies from Moab we're @ the Taggert hut Mon.-thurs. & also summited Castle while staring down that E. Face. We eventually walked back to our skis @ the saddle then climbed Conundrum & skied C. Couloir in nice corn. Why didn't you just climb that E. Face? Do you think it would have included some postholing? Also met new & old (Ellen & Deb) friends up there then skied out on Thurs. to meet the family @ Snowmass. From the top of the lifts I saw some sweet tracks on the N. Face of N. Maroon. Now who made those beautiful turns????? Mark from Moab Dawson(s) -awesome blog of your adventure. Which day did you actually ski E.Face? 20th? or 21st. Winter or Spring?
