still chilly

Getting a bit ridiculous with the cold weather.

Got up to Breck this weekend for the Summit County Rescue Group annual avalanche training.  Lots of good folks from all over the state.  Great training, but fucking christ was it cold.  On Sunday we went up to Fremont Pass around 11k in elevation, and it was -18F when I pulled into the parking lot at 7:30AM.  And it didn't get much warmer.  A few pics from the weekend:




Learned a lot about avalanches, found out my gear can keep me relatively warm in horrible conditions, and spent a lot of time at Broken Compass Brewing, which allows dogs and is heated.  Good weekend.

No mileage numbers to speak of this week, just too damn cold to spend any length of time outside.  Supposed to begin to thaw out later today (it's currently -1F as I type this at 6AM on Tuesday, but rumored to hit 40F later today) so hopefully I can get my lazy ass back on track soon.
