My old friend Jan, that Soul Skier from Montana, traveled south this weekend for some extreme backcountry ski action. His timing couldn't have been better. Highway 130 over the Snowy Range finally opened Friday afternoon, just in time for a Saturday mountaineering trip up Medicine Bow Peak.
We experienced good spring snow conditions, marred only by the unexpected appearance of some snowmobilers, who befouled the air and the solitude.
Undaunted by the interruption, we managed to put together two sick telemark runs, and found some previously unskied (by us, anyway) lines.
To paraphrase the late Randy "Macho Man" Savage, we felt the madness.
