		<title>Destination: Snowmass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s mountainous injustice that Snowmass has a reputation as a sidekick to the well-known glamour peaks of Aspen. Snowmass is much more than an asterisk on Aspen’s coattails; in fact, it may quietly be the very best ski mountain in Colorado.
The secret of Snowmass is safely guarded by the 4 hour or so drive from [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Beacon Guy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you&#8217;ve all read about the &#8220;20-something male&#8221; who accidentally activated his personal-locater almost every weekend for the past several months.
(If you haven&#8217;t, read about it here: http://www.denverpost.com/extremes/ci_14169778.)
Given to hyperbole and with an innate sense of over-reaction, I thought to post a demonic diatribe regarding this young man. But should I?
I&#8217;ll put it out there&#8211;how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Save Some Weight&#8230;and Go Carbon&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ounces count and if you can actually increase performance while shaving some weight&#8230;all the better!
Big thanks to my amigo at CAMP USA, Jesse Matner. He knew I was headed to a long week of self-propelled ski touring in Canada and hooked me up with a 240cm carbon probe, made by CAMP (128g, 4.3 oz, $90, [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Historic Run at Whitecap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, this may be my last post here on &#8220;Master of None&#8221;&#8230;for reasons you may understand shortly.
When I took this gig, I made efforts to establish firm, clear boundaries about the content of my blogs. In the end the Editors and I agreed upon &#8220;anything&#8221;, including a few activities and subjects specifically outlined in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sacrificing Virgins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Snow in the forecast and hopefully a bunch for Friday and early Saturday.
Today we toured for 7.5 hours, getting a bunch of good runs in a drainage just west of the hut. All week we’ve found two layers of buried surface hoar in the snowpack, which creates layers that are notoriously unstable. True to form, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whitecap Alpine Photo Gallery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pics from today&#8217;s tour. A bit of ski mountaineering followed by a descent on a small glacier&#8211;the downtrack is called &#8220;Ronnie&#8217;s Run&#8221; and it was creamy. High pressure has flown the coop and it&#8217;s snowing this evening&#8230;with another storm due on Friday. Hope you&#8217;re all getting some in Colorado!

		<title>Why Whitecap?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Of all the huts, cabins, chalets, resorts, and stashes in Canada, why Whitecap (WhitecapAlpine.ca)?
Before we get started, let me assure you this is no sort of promotion sodden in the corruption of a comped trip. I paid full ticket to come up here and I’ll do the same again, I’m sure. No, my friends, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally&#8230;Whitecap!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
High pressure has us touring in t-shirts and ball caps here at Whitecap Alpine (WhitecapAlpine.ca), in southern British Columbia. The weather gurus say we’ll bake another day or two before the possibility of precip on Wednesday.
Today’s group tally: one heli flight, a practice rescue scenario, 2000 feet of up/down, a broken pole, and a broken [...]]]></description>

		<title>Border Crossing in the Dark of Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow&#8217;s route will take us from Bellingham, Washington, to Pemberton, British Columbia. The crux comes getting through the checkpoint at Lake Alice, in Canada, where the Powers that Be have determined there will be no passing without a permit. The permit says you have a parking spot waiting somewhere up the road in Whistler or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seattle&#8230;and the Canadian spigot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Bookmark a restaurant or two, shave, shower, and head to the airport: time to pick up a buddy at Sea-Tac, chow down, sleep well, and head towards British Columbia in the morning.
Indeed, the climate models were right&#8211;a dry winter in Colorado, so we&#8217;re heading to Whitecap Alpine (WhitecapAlpine.ca) in the hope the Canadian spigot stays [...]]]></description>
