Me and my friend did Mt. Timp from the Aspen Grove side during the Winter and made it almost to the peak. Weren't you guys afraid of the avalanches? When we were there we saw a lot of them and actually causes a few ourselves.
We were a little wary of avalanche but sticking to the ridges kept us out of the danger zone for the most part. Also, we were lucky enough to find a few days free of new snow fall so the snow pack had a chance to settle. There were also several skiers that went down before us, so we felt we could glissade down with relative safety. I really would like to climb Timp in the winter again, maybe go up the Everest Ridge instead. It is a very beautiful mountain, especially in winter.
