Adrenalina

I have been staring at Adrenalina for the last four years and now I can finally say I have skied it. It seems a little crazy to skin for 5 hours to the top of a peak when Marte is running, but you can look at a mountain for only so long before you have to ski it.

The buses in Las Lenas run 24-7. We left our apartment at 7:00 in the morning and joined the poeple on the bus coming home from the discotequas. The bus driver was awesome and drove us to the end of the road, saving us 2 miles of road walking.

The morning was beautiful. As we skinned to the base of Adrenalina, we watched the sun rise and shine on the surrounding peaks.

The best part about climbing Adrenalina is that you can skin the entire the mountain.

Here’s a photo of our skin track that we were really proud of.

It took us five hours to climb the 6,000 vertical feet to the summit.

The ski off of the summit is a little over 50 degrees.

The snow was chalky at the top and smooth corn at the bottom. It was a great ski and well worth the climb.

The best decision we made all day was to bring our flip-flops. It felt so good to take off my boots and put my flip-flops on for the two mile walk back to Las Lenas.
