Winter Touring Wonderland

 I went for a ski tour with Nic Foot on New Years Eve.  What a great send off for 2012.  The weather was perfect for touring.  The "valley fog" was very high. We only got above it when we were on Grey Mountain but once above it everything was just so spectacular.  The cloud reached as high as the top of Granite Mountain, in fact we could see the micro wave tower but not the actual peak of the mountain.

After a warm up on Mt. Roberts, Nic and I skinned up Grey and then continued over to Mt. Kirkup and from there skied to the highway where we had left my van.
Check out the video of Nic skiing down Kirkup, a very nice way to top off an already incredible experience.
