On the Mountain

Fresh off the Lift.
Just below 13,000 ft,
Kristin P. waits for instructions from ski guide "Jess"

Kate volunteers to go first.
Ski guide Jess assures us there is only "one steep turn"
as he disappears off the edge behind Kate.

Our guide speaks the truth!
Fresh powder awaits the Lyons skiers who plunge off the edge.

Day Two

A Blustery Start
On Day Two a storm approaches.

That's OK!
Heli-skier was NOT in the plan, anyway.
