Long Hike (roughly a 3000 foot ascent), but well worth the effort. The Couloir skiing was fantastic. Sustained 45 degree pitch for the entire couloir descent.

Colorado > Central Rockies > Summit County

Amazing views from the summit of the trail. This is my partner: Collin. He was waiting for me for a while up there, because I was in terrible shape and took a long time to summit.

The last leg of the approach. On the upper ridge-line of Red Peak.

The bottom of Oh What Big Eyes You Have Couloir, looking to the east.

View of Buffalo Mountain (to the south) from the approach of Red Peak (in the "Catchers Mitt" above the tree-line).

Finally made it out of the trees and onto the "catchers mitt". In the home stretch. Okay, maybe not, still a pretty big ascent ahead.
