Paul on Totally Deep talking about his love for the uptrack
The Slender Skinner, Backcountry Training and Avalanche Lessons
If anyone has been into the Carbondale Cripple Creek Backcountry store or near a Colorado Ski Mountaineering Race podium, they have seen Tall Paul. But the one place you will almost never catch him is riding a lift. This guy loves going uphill as much as anyone and its all for the love of the mountains. He is one of my main ski partners, but has faded from the ranks of spraying and social media, so we are here to do it for him. While everyone else sits around and complains about how their favorite low hanging fruit is getting picked, Paul is going one ridge further out and breaking trail where no one has been before.
