Two Humps / 0 Degrees

Backcountry ski on the west side of Monarch Pass

Highway 50 west--and, more important, the Continental Divide.  In South Park it's -25 degrees as we drive west over Wilkerson Pass.

We get right on the trail; some blue sky and zero degrees F

We're frosty, but happy

The ridge above Monarch Ski Area sort of peeking out from the trees

A rare, actual use of poles

And, so, we end as we begun, except for the snotcicles--note the meager plow banks next to the parking area
