Alpine touring ( AT )






First stage of acquiring AT equipment completed - purchase of superb lightweight touring boots from Chip Foster for $100 . A pair he was trying to sell anyway. He kindly lent me his skis and skins to test them out on and I had an exquisitely pleasurable skin up to Sam's Knob at weekend. Boots fit like a glove. How lucky was that. Now just got to get similar equipment for Mary. Will give us much more flexibility.
3rd & 4th photos taken by Cindy Burke ( had a brilliant day with her and 3 others earlier in week ) . Maroon Bells looking particularly impressive.
