        Tabitha and I bagged the highest peak in Colorado including Mt. Elbert and South Elbert both over 14,000’. We have now done the two highest peaks in the lower 48. We did Whitney a few years back.

    Great turnout in SLC for the show on heliskiiing in Valdez. Lots of information handed out to better inform the “market” of the Valdez situation.  


    Next up is the Seattle show with a much less political agenda focused more on the Valdez avalanche scene.
