Snow shoe up Ben Lomond from the Willard side and skied down. Easily the most dangerous climb yet.  Of the Utah mountains though, this set is one of the most beautiful. Love it. Took five hours.

That's a big descent.

You need to get some freaking AT skis!

I rent them a few times a month from Utah State Rec. It only cost me $8 for two days so I can't justify buying them. But I sure love them. Next week I'm hoping to do the Tetons on ATs. If I can get work off and there's a trustworthy weather window.

That's an awesome deal... yeah the gear is pricy for sure.

I want a couple more weeks of sharpening my skills before venturing north to the Tetons :-)

If you have to sharpen your skills I'm in trouble.

Some people will do things whether they have the skills or not. For example, JFK Jr. needed to sharpen his pilot skills.

Yeah. John Denver too
