Super freekin' stoked....!!!!
I love being the mountains in Winter!
It's so amazing what you can see out there.
The majestic Bridger Mountains in Montana!
For a relatively short mountain range
the Bridgers are have sharp
jagged peaks, long elegant ridge lined, and perfect powder snow!

| Skiing into the Mountains. Sacajawea on far right. |
The surreal adventure of solo winter mountaineering.
I froze my ass off a few times.
Lost the use of my right hand for about an hour,
had to jump around in my big puffy down jacket
while setting up camp.

| Bridge Mountain Majesty. So beautiful in full winter gown. |
Not sure if I bruised my big toe or if this is partially due to
frostbite.
Had to question everything;
where to camp,
where to stash the bike,
how fast to move,
what layers to where,
am I too cold or can I keep going?
 |
| Ice climbing boots work well for winter bicycle riding!!! |
Yes, keep moving.
When your almost there,
It feels like perfection.

| "The Great One" on Naya Nuki. |
All my fears and doubts were replaced by sheer joy on the ski up to the top
of Sacajawea.
The mountains are so peaceful, soft, and quite in winter.
