A great visit to Aspen and some much needed training!

Mike invited us for a visit.  We had a great day skiing warm conditions at Snowmass on Saturday.  

 Sunday we headed up for a great hike!  Some much needed training for the Haute Route coming up in April.  We put our skins on and started hiking at 7:30.  They kick you off the mountain when the lifts start running so our time was limited.

 The hike was ~2500 vertical in ~2.5 miles.  Pretty steep and tiring.  I made it in 1:45, the patrol stopped to check on me just before I got there, but he let me pass...

 Wonderful breakfast as promoted by Mike Oatmeal pancakes, egg and bacon!
