After climbing more than 5,100 vertical feet to the top of Mt. Shavano (14,229'), we found what we were looking for: a couple thousand feet of fresh powder.

A full trip report (including photos of course) can be seen here:

Sounds like a great day, Scott, and those are some excellent images, really enjoyed them. Looks like you had all kinds of snow conditions as well. From the photo above, it also looks like the wind was pretty strong. Way to go!

Thanks Paul. The wind WAS very strong and it carried alot of snow with it.

That wind does look brutal, but what cool shots
