Tourin' up Maybird Gulch

This is a shot near the end of our tour in Maybird Gulch. You can see the top of the Pheifferhorn up to the right. It's an amazing peak and it was fun being so close. I'll have to get back in the summer and get a closer look. These trees made me feel like we were in BC or something with all the ice caked on them.




Here's Greg, the fearlous leader near the top of the tour. He was ticked that his gps was running out of battery.


This is a pic of us about to start skiing the woods down to the road. My legs were mashed potatoes at this point. Greg on the other hand was just gettin' warmed up. This was the toughest part because I felt like my quads were about to explode after a few turns and I'd have to stop and get my strength back. The skiing however... stellar.


This is where we took the skins off and started the desent. We were very conservative in our skiing since we heard of a hollow layer underneath. We didn't want to tempt the avalanche gods today.


Here are a couple videos of the two of us... nothing spectacular, but fun nonetheless. Moellmer's is on the top and mine on the bottom.
