  Finally, some fresh powder! Really love the 3rd and 4th shots. Hahnen is an impressive peak. It has an Uncompahgre-ish summit block…very distinctive. How much longer are you in Engelberg before you head back to the San Juans?

    Thanks Justin! Funny you say that because some of the basins around here remind me of the San Juans, especially like Yankee Boy Basin area.. Kind of like a combination of the San Juans and the Dolomites, and all much bigger! I’ll be here through the end of April.

  Good to see you back in the powder saddle, rider. Two and three (and four) are particularly sick!
