By the time we reached the base of the couloir […]

Read more "Last Weekend…"Three-season tents do not do very well when the high for the day is ten degrees Fahrenheit. January 3rd – 5th I accompanied backcountry skier Alexander Umbhau and snowboarder Casey LeFever into Rocky Mountain National Park for a couple of days of freezing temperatures, earn-your turns powder laps, and winter camping at its finest.
