A friend sent me this so I thought I would share.
- A mountain is not a checkbox to be ticked
- Alpinism and mountaineering are not restricted to 14,000 foot mountains
- Judgment and experience are the two most important pieces of gear you own
- Being honest to yourself and others about your abilities is a
characteristic of experienced climbers
- Courage cannot be bought at REI or carried with you in your rucksack

Saturday January 7
Spent the morning snowshoeing up and around echo lake and then to my one of my favorite mexican cantinas Azteca in Idaho springs. Then it snowed and I knew that Sunday I would have my board strapped to my feet.
Sunday January 8
Up and at em early, headed to Copper mountain to enjoy 8 inches of powder. Big blue skies, snow white sugary powder, sun shining. Short lift lines as I think everyone stayed at home to watch football. Life is great.
