Might as well have been on the nordic gear since didn't go further. Also - Found.. A digital camera at the crown area parking lot on Dinkle Road last Friday. Somebody set it on the hood of my truck. Unfortunately it looks to have been driven over first. If the owner can identify, they can still salvage the memory card I suppose.

Thomas, I'll sacrifice the sole for the soul any day (grin). Perhaps earning my turns and slogging for miles compensates for my not telemarking and thus lacking soul? Doug, Sopris is special, enjoy!

Bye the way, my wife Liz and I had a brief chat with you on xmas eve in the Tiehack parking lot. Best of luck on the trip to Europe, I've heard the snow there has picked up considerably, particularly in Switzerland and Chamonix. Safe travels and hope to bump into you again soon! - Doug Hi Lou,

It's still legal to sled up to an excellent position for Sopris access, and if I still had a snowmobile I'd be up there almost every week. The tree skiing on the north side of the east ridge is exceptional. Adam, after that slog you can bet I’ll be begging for a tow behind your 4-stroke Caddy.
