Dawn Patrol
Up before the lifts.
Doug’s standing date with the mountain - skinning and ski mountaineering in the blue pre-dawn, filmed several mornings a week all winter. Headlamps on, skins down, first light on the peaks.
Placeholder rows below. Examples to show the layout. As you post each morning’s skin to the Alpine Analytics channel, send me the title, date, place, and YouTube link and I’ll add a row - then remove this note.
First light off the back of the ridge
A pre-dawn skin up the shoulder, skins off just as the peaks go pink, and an empty face all the way down.
Watch the mission →A 5 a.m. skin before the storm
Beating the front up the bootpack - cold, quiet, and the last clear light before it socked in.
Watch the mission →Headlamps and untouched powder
Out the door in the dark, headlamps single-file up the skin track, first turns before the sun cleared the ridge.
