Beautiful Terrain: Gentle, then Steep

Here is Katie with the first pass in the exquisite section between Gates Peak and the Avalanche Lake area visible behind. I got to go first on the nice little steep section behind Katie; it definitely got my attention. The issue for me was learning to do kick turns on steep ground with the new free-pivot Black Diamond telemark binding. I more or less got it. This was near the end of our first travel day, on which we got to Avalanche Lake.
