Today begins our week long backcountry skiing adventure in Utah. The idea for this trip was hatched between Sean and me after drinking a fair amount of whiskey and beer at the Warren Miller film last November – isn’t that how all brilliant ideas are formed?? The four of us (Sean, Rich, Brian, me) are living and skiing/boarding out of a 25ft Cruise America RV until we drive back home to Colorado next Sunday.

| All the gear laid out on Sean's driveway - yes, it all fit |
 |
| We decided not to have the RV dewinterized so we used the bathroom for storage and took our 'business' outside all week |
We drove from Denver today through a mix of rain and snow to the La Sal mountains southeast of Moab, UT. We tried really hard to conduct a thorough search for information on the legality of drinking in the back of an RV on the road. Since we didn’t find any information saying it wasn’t allowed…party on. Now I remember why we thought an RV was such a good idea!

| OUCH! First fill up in Grand Junction - one of many |
Rich had last shift driving and the rain we drove through in Moab quickly turned to snow as we drove higher and higher on Geyser Pass Rd. He did a good job (for a British guy) driving the RV through at least eight inches of fresh snow. We pulled off at a trailhead parking lot on Geyser Pass Rd when the RV just wouldn’t go any further. We think we are within a mile of where we wanted to be so we’ll sleep here tonight and reassess in daylight since the RV is stuck.
