Here I am fresh in the morning, ready to go. We had come up the previous evening and camped at about the 4500 foot level. The day was perfect for climbing. However, the snow was not very good, so we carried our skis to the summit on our back instead of on our feet.

Okay, I had never skied down a mountain before. And I am not sure that this time counts either. Mostly, I fell down the mountain. The snow was alternately ice or sludge. I definitely need more off-piste experience.
