The snow is disappearing slowly off of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, so Nikki and I made a run up this afternoon. I skinned up under Super Chief, across to Gayway, and then boot packed to the top of the Radio towers. The sky was incredible, the snow fabulous, and Nikki was a riot.

Nikki started out super pumped, running around like crazy. About half-way up she realized I wasn't close to being finished, so she started going at my pace, and on the ski down I would stop and wait for her to catch up... crash into the snow... pant... eat snow... get up and be ready to run the next section.
