It was certainly a different world, 6 by 8 streets and not much on the mesas. Our small band of back country skiers were fond of saying “if it holds snow it is skiable”

Thanks for the history Scott! I wish we knew more about a lot of first known descents 🙂 Telluride backcountry in the 70’s must have been a different world.

He made the first known solo descent the following year while I was making a first descent in an extremely steep chute above Bear Creek(I forget the name) I moved to Alaska and Steve was killed in a hang gliding accident in Bear Creek shortly after.
