It starts off innocently enough with a clear appreciation for all things winter so the father introduces his 14 year-old son to his hobbies. Next up they’re hiking a mountain which progresses to hiking lists, then some ice climbing gets thrown into the mix, then some backcountry skiing, and bam… just liek that it becomes a need. The idea of stopping a foreign concept. This is the face of addiction. And it’s not all bad. In fact, there are many, many things that are far worse. For this father-son outing, we put our chief ski enabler, Redline Guide Dominic Torro, on this mission of insight and introduction. Answering questions, giving tips, and skiing. “To gain some first hand experience from someone who knows.” The stage was set on Hillman’s Highway in Tuckerman Ravine on Mt Washington on a great day. Now let’s get to the photos.
