Backcountry Nordic Skiing – Old Monarch Pass
Ski or snowshoe the Old Monarch Pass road to the Continental Divide. The ski area is closed, so we will ski up the trail part-way, possibly to the top of the lifts, if conditions permit. We may play in the bowl and the woods. Hope for shorts and sunscreen weather, but prepare for a blizzard.

Backcountry Skiing/Splitboarding – Quandary Peak with descent via Cristo Couloir
Let's ski/board a classic 14er descent - Quandary Peaks Cristo Couloir! We'll meet at the blue lakes road closure and climb the route in crampons with ice axes once skinning becomes impractical. Please be fit enough to sustain a 1,000-foot per hour climb on average to enable timing the summit safely and with good conditions for the downhill. Start time will depend on the days weather but may be as early as 4:30 AM. To register email me with your recent (previous 2 months) activities, experience with crampons/ax and ski/snowboard ability level. This is a great beginner steep spring tour but requires some experience and fitness. It's ok if this is a first but you should have had some experience climbing and skiing/boarding relatively steep snow.
