Skiing in Mid-May. Flattops Wilderness Area






Here we are up at West Elk, the snow is tapering off but we'd guess there is a good foot in most places facing North.
ahhh... a nice campfire with some good food cookin'. Doesn't get much better.
We snowshoed up the real steep stuff. This is looking North into the Flattops Wilderness. I'd say we're at about 9500 ft. in elevation.
workin' hard to elevate!
Kenya usually leads the way!


Callie often found her way into the bare tree wells.




Just having a little fun


Not sure if XC Skiis are made for this!?!



a clean landing!



An example of Southern exposure...

We both fell a lot this day. The snow was tricky.. it was about 60 degrees air temp.


what a great way to end it! Goodbye!
