Yet another Wasatch (mostly) ski touring album. It's turning out to be a great season for me. I hope you like these highlights.

List of peaks I've summitted on ski outings this year (skied from the top except where noted):

Lowe Peak (summit too rocky, booted down a bit before skiing)
Gobblers Knob
Ben Lomond
Sharp Mountain
Patsy Marley
Little Water Peak
Honeycomb Cliffs
Flagstaff Mountain
Red Top Mountain (4th "twin" of American Fork Twin Peaks)
North Timpanogos (summit was unskiable, but skied Cold Fusion Couloir)

Yeah, it's amazing how much easier skinning is than any other kind of snow travel, at least if the terrain isn't too steep and narrow or icy. Sometimes I get the urge to snowshoe just because skinning feels like cheating...I used to always think winter travel was supposed to be hard. Of course, I rarely give into that urge...

Thanks a lot man! It's been an awesome year. Just this morning with this long-awaited big storm, I got out before work and broke some trail and got some faceshots, it was sweet. I'm glad you found my album, I was hoping you would :)
