Amos has seen and done quite a bit in his short 30 years of age. He has worked many different jobs, traveled to many different places, and had many experiences that you might think more likely of someone twice his age. But I have a feeling that if you ask Amos just where he would call home, it would still be the hut that his grandfather built at the base of Montezuma and Pearl Basins.

Amos skiing in his own backyard. Literally.

Our little trip into the woods included Molly Ritner, Dave Rasmussen, Hannah Dworkis, Kaylie Rozen, Amos Mace, Enso, Isis, and myself. Not a bad crew if you ask me. Everyone was up for adventuring and so we did.

Putting the skins on for an early morning run.

After getting in late Saturday night and staying up late we didn’t exactly get going early on Sunday morning, but Kaylie and I did get out for a quick morning ski before breakfast.

It was a beautiful morning!

Kaylie at the top of the backyard. Trying to look excited about being out without breakfast.

We rallied everyone after breakfast for a quick lap in the next yard over. The skiing didn’t disappoint.

Kaylie was up for a second lap.

I'm not sure the resorts will cut it any longer for Hannah.

Molly enjoyed herself.

We split up for our next lap of the day. Amos and Hannah went for a couple more in the backyard, while Molly sat this one out. Dave, Kaylie, and I headed up and around to the top of the Greg Mace peak couloirs. The snow didn’t disappoint.

The sun was dropping but we were too soon.

Dave too.

Back at the Bottom. Kaylie.

Dave and I went for one last mini lap across the valley for a short little chute.

An intense game of liver pool rummy.

The following morning we got up for some more turns before leaving for the day.

Molly up for some more skiing on Monday morning.

Hannah didn't sleep in either.

There once was a ski racer named Kaylie.

Amos never gets tired of his back yard I don't believe.

Kaylie finishes it off for the last run of the trip. The trip was a good one. I'm looking forward to the next one.
