> > I'm sure Mapadu would argue differently about Colorado Well, here's a rough diagram of the Backyard Range: http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l/image_upload/World/041129byr.jpg I took that shot on November 29th of 2004, a day I will never forget. But that's a story for another time. This is about the day prior, and let's zoom in on it, shall we? http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l/image_upload/World/041128route.jpg The green triangle points to a cornice on a shoulder of Red Mountain – one I've played with a couple times now. The red line is roughly my route down, and the blue diamond represents my house. You can have your Utah. I like it here. But enough of that, there's something I need to say about Winter. How could she look so fine? http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l/image_upload/World/041128w2.jpg How could she be so cool? http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l/image_upload/World/041128w1.jpg How could it be she might be mine? http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l/image_upload/World/041128w3.jpg She'll follow wherever I go http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l/image_upload/World/041128skintrack.jpg She sees things like this http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l/image_upload/World/041128r.jpg and freaks out, displaying a level of passion for it that even I don't possess. She's grown to love jumping cornices http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l/image_upload/World/041128cornice.jpg and making graffiti like this http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l/image_upload/World/041128t.jpg is perfect. So fine. These little trips mean the world to her. She'd die for it. I guess I would too, but that would be easier for me to take, wouldn't it? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
