Skiing was awesome and as always the snow was fantastic. We drove through Monarch Pass in one of the worst snowstorms I have ever drove through. Surely my Wisconsin upbringing enabled me to navigate the fast accumulating snow and whiteout conditions. Yet, once we awoke in the loft the next morning everything in the mountains was covered in beautiful white powder. Thanks to all the AK West crew who put us up and helped to make sure we had a fantastic time. I can't wait to get out to the mountains this fall so we can experience everything this great part of the country has to offer throughout the seasons. On our way out we drove through the mountains following the Arkansas River through the canyons. What an absolutely beautiful river (wish I had packed that fly rod). It was a great trip and Andi and I both look forward to getting back out to the Rockies.
