My Locale Rocky Mtn. West
About Me An outdoors girl in Denver, CO. I have a love for skiing, snowshoeing and backpacking and want to venture into other mountain sports--backcountry skiing? I just took a winter camping course with the CMC last year. I have started to get back pain with a heavier load, so I want to lighten up and meet others in my area with the same mentality.

pit zips
If you find something with pit zips, I'll be even more interested. Seems like that will be a critical piece to a winter shell.

I have the AMC book and it's pretty good. It's the same book that we used for the Winter Camping School last year with the CMC. Did you know that Andrew Skurka is talking at CMC headqua...
