I’m finally happy and willing to accept that winter is over for me. Time to edit next years movie and start training for the upcoming ski season (only 5 months away).
Also a nice time to cruise around on a motorcycle I picked up this spring. I was thinking it would just be a nice mode of local transportation and the next thing you know, your off doing stuff like this-

Thanks to Derek for the inspiration. I was having a little internal struggle with the fact that I might be a moto-head. I got over that about mile 32.
After our trip, Dylan had to quickly take off to work on the river in Montana. He just emailed me a few pics from the trip. I’ll post a full TR when I get a CD from him.

Nice view of Hunter from high Crosson camp.
Our dejected climb back to Crosson after seeing the Foraker Glacier was melted out.
Dylan and i are back in the lower 48 safe and sound after our outing was cut short due to lack of snow and poor conditions. Sorry for the delay in posting our progress, or lack of. I’m working on a vid of the outing which should be up soon. Despite not getting to our objective the trip was very successful in that we had a great time and captured some really cool footage. There was also a ton of information gathered on what this line takes to be skied and we are both committed to giving her another go next season.
