With a week of warmer weather and a settling snow pack I spent the time skinning, and getting sunburn in the mountains around Telluride. Starting early on saturday with bacon and coffee I met Brian C. and Dustin H. with intentions of skiing the Silver chute off Silver Mt. Skinning up the north side of Lena basin I had my doubts of getting around the south side of the peak due to the quickly warming sun. Summiting Silver I decided to ski back into Lena basin in the cold north facing powder, Brian and Dustin continuing on making the exposed and scary traverse to the entrance of the Silver. Back in the Bear Creek basin I met up with Jim C on his way to ski the north side of K 12, I joined in.
