Tour de Sniktau & Grizzly PeaksThese pictures are from my lone excursion up Sniktau and Grizzly Peaks from Loveland Pass at the 2007 SP Rockies Winter Gathering. I was the only one there!
Loveland Pass opened at ~6:30am after being closed the previous day due to avalanche. The skies were gorgeous but the wind was atrocious! It was somewhat miserable on the way back from Grizzly as the winds picked up tremendously! I was nearly knocked off my feet dozens of times and it was all I could do to place my trekking poles on the ground where I wanted them...the wind played havoc with them even though they are just thin metal!
It was a long day but great to be back in the mountains after a two month hiatus.

Sniktau Summit: 8:45am
Grizzly Summit: 11:55am
Back at Car: 2:20pm
