Meet'n'Greet
Assembling gear at the north end of
Saddlebag Lake, we meet boat pilot Paul (of Greg and Paul's) and
friends. Perfect timing, because we got a guided tour of the
best terrain.

North Peak
An unmistakable feature of the
Conness area, its north face provides seriously burly skiing and
late-season ice climbing.

Steep and Smooth
Forty degrees is a bit steep
for my developing telemark technique, so I tightened up the
Hammerheads and turned 'em together. That's good corn.
