Silverton

By
I met Matt Kocubinski ( a very old friend) in Montrose and we spent two days up at Silverton Mountain , a unique cross between backcountry and lift accessed ski resort.  The most notable part of the trip was the heli drop we got to the other of the draw..  Riding in a heli in the mountains was every bit as awesome as I thought it would be.  Click the first picture for 100+ more. 

From Silverton!!!







Plus our pilot reminded me of Ice Man from Top GUN.. which was also cool


The speaker in the hotel that pumped the xm channel "simply Sinatra" at the mere flick of a toggle switch was probably the coolest part though..

   Destination: Erica Bruennle for sleeping, Loffelstertz Lake for Eating 11km, 46 minutes. Fast roads Temperature: down to 0, a little frost in the morning but not much.  OR Intersteller Bivy, EE 20 deg quilt, Thermarest Xtherm, Rumpl, Rab Dagwalkinjacket Three scoops of Huel still wasn't enough, but the Cajun pasta was pretty good. Ate dinner by the lake, but it was too windy to be comfortable sleeping there.  Will likely try and stay at a trekking Erlebnis place next time with a proper campfire. We'll see.  Sleeping was cold, slept with the Rumpl on top of the quilt/bivy which probably compressed the down. Managed a reasonable night's sleep either way. Sleep system still needs work.. Blaek coffee is great, and two is more than enough.
