oh i love the snow too. But when you are in a valley thats pitch dark, wind driven snow, you do start to worry. I was pretty much in control mentally but my brother was huffing pretty hard so i had to worry about him freaking out. It was one of those situations where you think, Damn! every tv show i watch where they dont go back the same way they should have, does happen! We should have headed back up that mountain when we knew something wasnt right.
