Roadside view on drive up. This is still in New Mexico.
Roadside view. Getting closer. This is in Colorodo.
Base at Purgatory Ski Mtn.
Good bump run at Purgatory.
Another good run. Also in the background is where we are going snowcat skiing.
That's called Engineer Mountain
This is the north end of the Needle range of mountains.
Good shot of the Needle range with clouds.
Another good shot of Needle range with clouds.
Typical chair lift shot.
OK time to go Snowcat skiing. This is a converted van that we rode in to get to the snowcat. The snowcat is slow and started before us. This thing is faster.
Now we switch to the snowcat.
This is our first drop point. We skied down to the right.
After each drop the cat would leave and go to our next pickup spot.
Another pickup spot. You can see a skier coming from above.
Time for lunch. This is Andy our cat driver.
This is Tim and Bryan our cat guides.
Little more open skiing here. I liked this part.
This is my friend Greg getting ready to do a face plant.
Greg getting into the cat.
This is Judy coming out of some old growth trees. I got to know one of those trees up close and personal.
This was a typical tree run. Look out for those dead trees.
This is Tim coming down through some trees.
Tim again in the trees. OK that's it for Snowcat shots
On the drive back I had to cross Apache territory. It was touch and go there. I could feel them watching me. I put on Jimi Hendrix and they let me pass.
