Skin Removal

Today Jordan and I met at Turnagain pass lot and skinned up Tincan mountain. Jordan recently got an A/T set up similair to mine and he is taking every free day to get used to it. Rondonee or A/T is sort of a cross between telemarking and downhill skiing. With A/T gear you can use skins and free your heel on the hike up, and then lock your heel down and alpine ski down. The light was marginal, but we did get a little sun here and there. We started hiking around noon and were the last ones on the mountain by our descent at 3:30. We had a blast and it was great to be back in the mountains. I really love these pictures and I think that the mountain shots are some of the best I have captured yet. I have been learning a lot about the camera with the help of Erik (many, many phone calls at odd hours) and the D-90 is super rewarding and worth every cent.

cheers!
