Albu-quirky

Here's some shots from my weekend with my dad in the Southwest. Traveling with him is always a riot. There's always a new character to talk to, or place to see, and never enough time to do it all.

THis one's my favorite shot. That's a staircase leading up from a cliff-like trail to a cave in the side of the Sandia Peak, just outside of Albuquerque.




We put a thousand miles on the rental car, heading up, over, and around to three different mountains. Poor Pack even got a speeding ticket heading up to Telluride.





All three days we had fresh snow--the most snow the area had all year. So much that we had to condition our skis in the hotel room.





Spring skiing is always awesome because of the weather, but we lucked out with all around beautiful ski conditions--warm, sunny, no lift lines, great snow. It's the tail end of the season, and at all three it was the last couple days of the year.



This one here is at Wolf Creek in Colorado. We tailgated with all the locals after closing day skiing it up, before heading back down to the flat lands...or wherever.
