Opis:
We started the morning of 4/19/19 at Rock Creek Sno-Park next to Palisade Campground. On day one we skinned into the Treasure Lakes area and set up camp at 11,200 ft. We summited Treasure Peak (12,800ft) and skied some slushy snow back to camp. On day two, we packed up camp, crossed Cox Col at 13,000 ft and skied down a bit to set up camp adjacent to a rock band. On our way to Gabb, we got caught in a storm a returned to camp to spend the next 6 hours or daylight in a wet tent. On day 3, we woke up at 3:40 am and went for Gabb again. We made it to the summit (13,741 ft) and opted not to ski the line. Ski conditions could not have been more perfect but with snow stability in question, we choose to bail. We ended up skiing some decent snow on the Southwest face. Unfortunately the footage from that decent and the decent of Treasure peak was corrupt once I got it on my computer and I couldn't figure out a way to view it... pretty bummed about that. Overall, this was an epic trip and totally worth it even though we didn't ski our objective. As Warren Miller has stated many times, “If you don't do it this year, you will be one year older when you do.”
