Vicarious Ski Mountaineering

May 7th, 2007 by Doug Schnitzspahn

Don’t get me wrong. Having a new kid (and selling/buying a house at the same time) is a big adventure. But I am missing out on my favorite time of year—ski mountaineering season. So I’ll just have to live vicariously through friends…

Chris Dickey, who works for Jackson PR shop Stanwood and Partners, skied the Grand Teton last week and sent me these photos to prove it. Sadly, Dickey and his partner think they may have been the last to see local climbers Alan Rooney and Jonathan Morrow who were killed in a fall on the mountain on April 29.

I have been thoroughly enjoying Dougald MacDonald’s blog, The Mountain World. And any other year, I would be up for his not-so-subtle call for a partner to ski the north face of Long’s Peak. Dougald’s a fantastic talent—as a writer, editor, climber, and publisher—and I look forward to reading more of his insights and escapades.

Old friend and former Hooked Web guru, James Dziezynski finally wrapped up his Colorado Summit Hikes guidebook for Wilderness Press, and he has a brand new Web site to prove it. Look for James on tour (both on the peaks and in local bookshops) this summer.

And just in case you think I have been on my butt all season, here are some shots (from a few weeks back) of Max and I doing some jacket testing for Outside.

    Thanks for the plug! This is a strange year in the CO backcountry; I’ve been out a few times and the snowpack is like an avalanche sandwich- wet and heavy, then sugar, then wet and heavy again! Prime season here at least is a week or two away!
