Duncan & Katy's arrival







The end of Jane & Johannes's first week heralded the arrival for one week only of Duncan & Katy from Columbus , OH.

Katy was attending an orthopedic vet conference here in Snowmass Village - an extraordinary coincidence and so it was partly a working week for her. We all trouped in at 5.15pm on Tuesday to see her give her presentation on aspects of dog knee replacements to over 300 vets - most impressive.

We got a fabulous powder day at Highlands earlier that day ( and with Katy for part of it quite remarkably ), but the highlight of the week had to be the overnight hut trip which Alan Feder organised for us. A lot of gear was assembled from various kind sources , and we hired the rest from Ute Mountaineers in Aspen including avalanche bleepers , probes and shovels for all of us. Pics on that in next entry.

Pics above - including ` top of bowl ` and Johannes looking on in some trepidation as Jane starts her descent on G3. 3rd above - Duncan completing his turns on a great run on Mushroom to foot of Deep Temerity. Always a good powder run.
