Just wanted to share some of the work of one of our own...Karin Kirk. Haven't read it yet, but thought I'd share...

Neat.

The Kirks sure do lots of outside stuff.

Nice, years ago I would have loved to ski that peak. Yellowstone skiing, never gave that a thought. Oh well, too late now. Good tale. Thanks for the link

Cornice drop, 40-degree cooler, breakable crust? Yeeoow! :eek:
And a gift for understatement: "In the back of my ski-instructor brain, I was not entirely pleased."

Strong work, Karin.

The woman can ski.

That sounds like an understatement

Thanks!
Yeah, that run scores high on the list of places that were a handful to ski. I felt bad about how technically crappy I skied it, until I got a good look at it and the end of the day. Just getting down seemed like a perfectly fine accomplishment in hindsight.

Anyway, thanks for the props. Hopefully the second part of the story will post next week.
