Crested Butte Skiing, Colorado 23 January 2011

Back to skiing. After staying overnight in Gunnison, we drove up to Crested Butte. Weather was cold -14 degrees fahrenheit!! Very sunny though. A great day to ski.

Skiied alone today as James was still very out of sorts after his climbing day yesterday.
Seemed like he needed some space to calm himself down. Explored the field and had a great day finding fresh powder in the aspen groves. Some very steep terrain on this field but loads for intermediate and beginner skiers too.

Serene views out from the field to the surrounding mountains.

At end of the day James had decided he wanted to head home. Seemed like a strange decision to me, but there we are. We had steak dinner and then he took a room at Crested Butte, planning to figure out how to get home from there via Gunnison and Denver. I started the trip back to Salt Lake area by driving 4 hours to Green River Utah. Planning to head to Cedar City and ski in the red rock areas, something I have always wanted to do. :-)
