red mountain pass shred.

2 days ago 6 of us showed up at school at 730 to head to the top of red mountain pass where we met up with chris, a pro in snow research and snow conditions in the future. we aslo got to meet mike a mega awesome dude who is a backcountry guide. we started off hiking up to chirs' snow evaluation station. there we learned how the information is aquired and what it is used for. we learned how the dust and pollution affect the snow that inreture affects everyone who uses the san juan run-off for their farms and stuff. once we were finished with chris we headed up the mountain with mike and after a bit of hiking we stopped for lunch during this time mike told us what the weather was sopposed to be for that day acording to the weather research. it turned out that it was completly wrong. once we had finished our meals we began to make a av. pit. we assesed the the snow and discovered that we were good to go. then we hiked up a little more and locked and loaded. from there we skied down to the car. it was awesome.
