Breakfast time
You have to keep well fed, but don't ask what Sean had for breakfast

So Tim gets the great idea of taking off his clothes
|
So we look at the landscape instead. Here is the back of the Cirque
|
|
And the mountain in the background with the horizontal lines is the Maroon Bells
|
And looking down the slope
|
|
Tim wears an ACE shirt at Snowmass with the Maroon Bells over his left shoulder
|
And here are the Maroon Bells over his right shoulder
|
|
And one more with lots of pretty scenery
|
|
Still on the top of Elk Camp at Snowmass
|
Back to one we do want to see, this is the back of the Cirque. From the pointy spot in the middle people ski down the backside of the mountain. This is past the ski area boundary.
|
|
Here is a crop showing the tracks
|
Sean using the telescope to check out the scenery.
|
|
Tim trying to use his cell phone to take a picture
|
Steve, Eric, and Sean waiting patiently to go skiing
|
|
So from where we were last standing we made a "short but strenuous hike" to this location
|
Another view
|
|
You can make out the top of the lift partially hidden by the tree
|
This is the way down...
|
|
But some people seem to go this way
|
Don't know these folks, but off they go after recovering from the strenuous hike
|
|
It must have been a strenuous hike if I am still taking pictures and not yet skiing
|
Still snapping away
|
|
Well Tim took this picture, but Ian is at the top of the mountain
|
Getting ready to tame the Cirque Headwall (The symbol means double black extreme)
|
|
Looking down from the Cirque
|
Looking the other way
|
|
You can see people riding the surface lift to get to this point
|
It is quite the sight
|
|
This is what we just came down
|
A little to the side
|
|
And another view
|
This is where we are going. In fact there go Steve and Eric. Tim is long gone.
|
|
One last shot before I am off to follow
