Dead Dog Couloir – POV

After 4 years of not having it work out to summit Torrey's Peak, I was finally able to ski the Dead Dog Couloir from the summit, officially starting this year's 14er count and rapping up all the summits of 14ers on the Front Range on my list. Chris, Andrew, and Collin from All Mountain Access … Continue reading Dead Dog Couloir – POV

My goal was originally the Dead Dog Couloir, but after a partner had to bail because of work, I had a mad scramble to find someone else to go, and … Continue reading the coolest thing I have done in a long time…
