Click here to see a short slideshow. Our annual 10th Mountain Division hut trip was last weekend. This year we went to Vance’s Cabin near Leadville, Colorado. The trail-head starts in the parking lot at Ski Cooper. I wasn’t able join the group on Friday because of an assignment in Denver so I headed up...
Skiers were flying through the air last night at the Ski Big Air event in Civic Center Park in downtown, Denver. Covering sporting events was a big part of my life as a staff photographer for the Denver Post. Now, it’s rare when I get the opportunity to capture peak action. The minute I heard this event was coming to Denver, I wanted to document skiers and snow boarders flying though the air with the Denver skyline as the back drop.
Last weekend we went on our annual Hut Trip. This year it was to the Lindley Hut near Aspen, Colorado. The trail starts near Ashcroft a historic sliver mining ghost town in the White River National Forest. The Lindley Hut is a little smaller than the huts in the 10th Mountain Division but it was perfect for our group of 10 skiers and snowshoer’s.
Sunday, Valentine’s Day, I documented Ski Loveland’s 19th Annual Mountaintop Matrimony Mass Wedding. The ceremony was held at Ptarmagin Roost Cabin at 12,050 feet in elevation. The day started cold and snowing but before the noon ceremony the skies began to clear and the winds relaxed. Still getting married near the top of the continental divide in the middle of February isn’t for the faint hearted.

Hello, Wednesday I hooked up with my friend John Heisel to ski Vail on a beautiful warm sunny day! Vail It was particularly fun because both John and I ski on telemark skis plus I hadn’t skied Vail in many years. What a magnificent ski mountain! Cheers, Kent
