There is something extremely magical about getting up and out into the mountains early. It doesn’t matter the season, it always feels special. I’ve been doing a lot of this lately in order to get some precious skiing in before work, and I must say, being tired at the end of the day is a price well worth the feeling I get being up in the alpine early in the morning. The beauty that we as mountaineers are blessed to experience is something so far from the human touch that it really just makes me want to spend as much of my time there as possible.

Powder skiing always adds to the experience:
So next time you have the chance. Get up early. Get out in the BC and see what you might be missing. You won’t be disappointed.

Good stuff Jordan… getting up the early mornings is well worth it… I do it 3-4 times a week before work and never have been sitting at my desk at 3pm wishing I hadn’t done some hiking and skiing in the morning!
