Re: 2017 Goals
I am good! And bikes are replaceable. Other than being one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me, I am very lucky to come out of it with merely bruises and a sprained hand. It was not a hit and run, and we'll see re: the accident report/insurance. Very, very, very lucky. Very.d_baker wrote:Bike is done, but how about you? Hope you're ok!

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Re: 2017 Goals
I typically fall well short of any goals I place in any given year, so I'll just say I hope to spend a large chunk of time in the outdoors with my family, and bag a few peaks along the way.
Life is too short to pay full retail for outdoor gear!

Re: 2017 Goals
Does MLW actually ever have enough snow to ski? Seems like it would take a lot of snow to cover those big rocks, but maybe there is a side of the mountain that I am not thinking of that is more skiable...gspup wrote:Ski MLW, Guyot, and something in IPW (any recommendations ?)
Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.

Maybe I should have said ski on MLW haha.
It's doable in the right conditions...last spring when I attempted it after that huge dump it was caked. Also, I don't mind if it's not from the summit or if I have to rock hop a little bit, I really follow no rules and have no shame when skiing peaks.

Re: 2017 Goals
I say anyone who does backcountry skiing can make their own rules (or not follow any rules). Of course this is coming from the guy who could maybe handle the bunny trails at the resorts.gspup wrote:Tornadoman wrote: Does MLW actually ever have enough snow to ski?

I hope you get a big storm and are able to get it done. If you do, I would be curious to see some pictures!Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.

Re: 2017 Goals
You can absolutely do this. As long as you're not claiming something. Once you claim something (like "I skied all the 14'ers in record time") you are going to have to adhere to some standards.Tornadoman wrote:<snip>

There's more to life than 14ers. There are 13ers.
