Outward Bound: Missing Out?

4/6/2015

0 Comments

 
    After a busy (and warm) start to March, I headed down south to Leadvegas Colorado to work one of Outward Bound's 8 day Backcountry ski/snowboard courses. Although the December versions of this course are notoriously cold and dark, the March version is a completely different story.  Longer days and a spring snowpack lend themselves to easier backcountry living and hero powder skiing.  I was really excited for this course because of the promising weather pattern and the all-star staff I would be working with.
    Unfortunately the sickness that I had been fighting since the beginning of the month caught up to me and I was taken hostage of a full-blown fever.   Sadly I had to sit out of the field for the whole expedition section. I did get to skin in to visit my crew one day and got to see what I had been missing out on...

Although I didn't have it in me to join them for a real lap, I was so happy to see their smiling faces and absorb some of their stoke.  Huge shout out goes to Chris Noah (seen above in yellow) for solo instructing his third winter course of the season.  Also big shout out to Katlynne Schaumberg for stepping up to fill in as an instructor on her first ski/ride course.
