Wolf Creek -- a quick recap!
Sunday, March 30, 2008 at 11:27PM We made it back!
I literally just got home after a 14 hour car ride, and decided I had to blog this evening about the great little vacation in Wolf Creek/Pagosa Springs, CO. Last Wednesday 8 of us from KC started the all-day drive out West, so that we could be on the mountain for day 1 on Thursday. We arrived to THIS AMAZING HOME and couldn't believe how great it was. If you are headed out that way, you really should consider staying here if you have a large group! The morning conditions were a bit icy, but after some sunshine it softened the snow a bit and we were able to do some great skiing/boarding. That night 4 more friends from CO joined us and we had two more days of good times. It was warm, and we enjoyed the natural Hot Springs too -- which were amazing and fun on the tired muscles... :) Day 2 we even hiked this amazing area called Knife Ridge, which was SO SCARY, but worth it. I didn't get down that portion on my board very "pretty" but I made it down!Enjoy some pictures below, and if I have time I will create a slideshow and add it to this post!
Above is Joel (aka Joel-pedo) on skis, and Dave is that little spec on the board below...

My Extreme-Dave catchin' some air!
Mark jumping off the same ridge as Dave did in the previous image.
Brandon after a long day of boarding... :)
*ALMOST the whole gang:
Tim, Meaghan, Amanda, Kevin, Lauren, Mark, Brandon, Cezanne, Joel, Dave and Me
(they love when I shout "Group Picture Time!")
*Not pictured: Kristen, but we will photoshop her in ASAP :)
Brandon, Cezanne and Dave hiking knife ridge -- and this give NO justice to the 1-foot wide icy path you are walking in BOOTS!
The view right before dropping into the run...yeah, I was scared!
Here is everyone this morning getting ready to head home.
Great times -- let's start planning Whistler for 2009! :)

Hi
i found your blog from Mary Basnight's blog. I love all the work that you have done and enjoy looking at the pics. Photography is something I would really like to do when i get out of high school. Looking at other people's work gives me some really good ideas. Keep up the great work!

The first one of Joel is an amazing use of perspective - he looks like a midget from that angle. So jealous you were skiing - I miss Colorado! Glad you had fun!
That looks like too much fun!! How in the world did you do the next to the last one. I would have been scared out of my mind or broken my neck.
