The Vagabond Ranch

Our friend Josh (seen here in the lower left corner ripping Swiss powder one late afternoon last February.) is running one great scene at the Vagabond Ranch! His place is an amazing mountain retreat above the Denver area.  Check it out http://www.vagabondranch.org/.  p.s.  a cool video from the winters ski trip is on his home page there, awesome.


Follow Lou Dawson on Denali

Famed Colorado Skier Lou Dawson has his satellite hook up working high on Denali! He is sending daily reports from the mountain.  This is great and compelling stuff.  The blog is excellent normally but right now it is extra fun to follow.  Check it out.  http://www.wildsnow.com/


Pat Dekle’s new Alpenglow skis a success in Snowbird!


Pat and Daniel happy as can be in Snowbird.  Pat is the first person to purchase his own custom Alpenglow skis from Wagner.  Daniel designed the ski last winter and Pete Wagner did a sensational job crafting them.  Check out Pete Wagner at  www.wagnerskis.com.  Look for more to come from Pat, his lovely wife Jan (still on K2’s) on a future post.


This is the shot.

Here we have Daniel's magnificent photo featuring much that we love; big trams, the Matterhorn and our great friend and Zermatt local, Chris Patient. This shot happened on a magical afternoon long after most people had given up on the day!


We are on the move now!

Joey above Andermatt

It's a long way down to Andermatt!

As it is currently still snowing in Telluride we might as well stay focused on the season!  This is one of the great moments of the Glacier Express trip last January.  Stable weather and stable snow made for a great day indeed!  This is what Switzerland can offer; 5000 feet of descent in incredible situations just off the piste.  The great Joey Klein leading us down.


The new website is alive!

We are very happy to have this new site going, look for much more info about Alpenglow coming soon.


New website for Alpenglow Ski Safaris!

Danne takin' it all in. Above AndermattAs Daniel peers into the future, a new website is in the works for our ski tour company. We have been wanting to upgrade our presence on the web and it is finally going to happen. Please stay tuned everybody. In other great news it is still snowing in Telluride, the lifts have been closed for almost two weeks but the good skiing continues.
