Big Slide '08


The ambitious hikers before tackling Big Slide Mt, elevation 4240', #27 on the 46er list



Makin' our way



The blowing wind and snow required that we cover up those ugly mugs. Not much of a view at this point. Here we are on the first of the three brothers (a mounain range) that lead to the top



Halfway there



The higher we go, the more fresh powder we encounter



Mountain man



A look at what's to come



Before the final summit



Gorgeous view before the peak



Peak number 12 for me



Good friends



At the top! What a view. The higher up we went, the better the weather got. By the top it was nothin but blue skies and mountain tops



A pause on the way down to reflect



Back down we go...
