I used to hike mountains in the winter when I lived in Vermont. Part of the thrill is having to pick every step carefully.

If I still had access to cold mountains, I would love to train with telemark skies. As it was, I used snow shoes and crampons.

In retrospect, I probably did some pretty stupid things.

Didn’t we all I hiked and climbed some pretty scary stuff in my 20s and late teens actually but the biggest risk I took was ocean sailing and very bad storms one of which sunk freighters

I was too naive to understand the danger of 100 mile an hour winds and mountainous seas

Plus at night you really can’t see it
