Photo Highlights from the 2013/2014 Backcountry Ski Season

This was an interesting season full of change, and life was giving me plenty of excuses to not ski. But I persevered! Mountains are the best therapist, wouldn't you agree? I managed to visit some old favorites as well as check out new zones I'd been curious about for years.

It turned out to be a season full of good mountains, good snow, and good friends! Grateful!
