Was able to ski from about 13,300 to 11,700, for 1600 feet of vertical. There were 2 short interruptions in the snow along this length, where I shouldered the skis for the walk.

I missed my turn and walked the road about 3/4's of a mile too far, as indicated by that long leg going due south.

Alpine ski tour with Spectacular Adventures Meetup. Left the trailhead in Alice at 7:15 AM, summited at 11:35 AM, and back to the car about 2:15 PM. The snow was hard most of the way up and soft all the way down. There was a bit of boot climbing, perhaps a mile on the way up, as snow coverage was not 100 percent. Temperatures were in the upper 30's at the summit, 50's near the car, under blue skies.

Alpine ski tour with my buddies Charlie Khoury and Derek Zachmann. Snow conditions on the high, sun-exposed east slope of St Vrain were pretty good. We had to boot-hike the last 50-100 feet to the summit, as the wind-blown slopes held a lot of exposed rock. After skiing down from the summit to tree-line, the snow became hard and somewhat crusty. It was very difficult to make turns. We largely snowplowed our way back to the trailhead, with lots of stops to diminish the quad-burn.
