Green and lush in the valleys,

Mountain biked Saturday between showers and shredded the snow Sunday.  Sprinter in Utah, spring and winter!

Solo tour

Big winter there was snow two feet above the railing on May 1st.
Not so much this year.

I would only make it to the red star.

Red star marks high point.  Late start and warming sun kept me from making
the summit before my turn around time.


I get nervous approaching this zone in winter, so much exposure from above.

Red star marks high point for the day.  I will have to make a summit
another day.

Wowsatch!

Snow is melting out of the approach trail.

Red Baldy

Still far to the top!



Streams coming out of hibernation.



You can see the skin track got covered by two small wet slides from the
day before.

Power of an avalanche.  How much force does it take to snap
a 12 inch tree trunk in half?

My heart sank when I heard about the 5 deaths from an avalanche on Loveland Pass this Saturday.  All experienced splitboarders and backcountry travelers.  Colorado snowpack upheld its reputation as some of the deadliest.  Read more here.
