December and January have completely flown by, leaving the season half over before it really started in my head. Skimpy is the best way to explain our snow fall this year. Luckily, there is enough to get by, even enough to get some work done shooting with Jt Robinson, Jon Gurry and Steve Lloyd. Unfortunately, the usual blower days we are used to have been minimal this year.
I recently returned from a phenomenal all women tele trip up to BC. It was my first experience to the 'great white north' as Martha Burley calls it. And this first experience was mind blowing. The trip was concieved by Shaun Raskin. A fellow telemarker pointed her in the direction of Icefall Lodge just outside of Golden, BC. I was lucky enough to be invited along for what turned out to be an amzing ride. The whole trip just kind of came together with an amazing group of girls. Re Wikstrom (photographer), Shaun Raskin and I met up in SLC to begin the epic drive to Golden. We picked up Paige Brady in Idaho Falls and made our way up through Missoula to the Canadian border through Eureka. After stopping at a dirty Duty Free shop we made our way through the border with no problems. Four hours later we pulled into the Ramada, met up with Martha and passed out for the night. 
We met up at the Heli pad at ten, even though our real heli pad was 20 minutes north into the woods. It was my first experience with a heli. I wasn't disappointed. It was overcast the entire 15 minute fly to the lodge, but it didn't matter, it was breathtaking. I have always been in love and enthralled with my mountains. I quickly realized my little mountains are dwarfs in the world of peaks. A new sense of adventure overtook me, I wanted to get to these mountains, I wanted to climb to the top of every peak I saw. Thats new for me. I have been more than content to have lift accessed descents for my enitre life. There is something about majestic peaks that provoke a sense of adventure, like they are meant to be explored and my little heart felt it.
