South face ski Descent with Rachael. Skinned up the NE ridge from Spruce Creek. Only about 2-3 inches of fresh snow, but it held up really well and skiied smooth over the frozen winter snowpack below.

Peak 10
April 24
Shaylee, Kessler, Kimberly, and I snowshoed to Francies Cabin in the late evening; not starting until dark. The half moon was surprisingly light, but we still used headlamps. We made it in just over an hour.
April 25
The original plan was to have Kessler climb Peak 10 with me, but he had hit his head at school the day before and had a big bump, so decided not to risk it.
I climbed the east ridge alone and made a fast glissade off the southeast face. It was a good glissade, but there were a few cliff bands to avoid. From the summit, I could see a storm approaching, so I didn't want to stick around. I got back to the hut just as the snowstorm hit. We packed up and snowshoes through the heavy snow falling, but it cleared up as we descended the mountain.

Southeast Face Ski
Originally planned on skiing Crystal, but the clouds came out and I didn't think it would soften so decided to go for Peak 10 instead and ski more south facing slopes that had a little more sun before it went away. Still pretty choppy, but it was better than I thought it would be.

Great spring day
Great day in Tenmiles, I used the Mercury skilift in Breckenridge, stashed my skis in the forest, then hiked Pk10, Crystal, Pk10 and Pk9. Awesome whole day trip with some loose rock on the north ridge of Pk10.
