Twin Lakes Sunrise

Rinker Peak towering over Twin Lakes.

I wasn’t sure if this photo attempt was going to happen. It meant a 5am wakeup call, one hour drive in sketchy dark mountain conditions to a location I had never scouted, then drive an hour back to Copper Mountain where I was staying for the weekend and still wanted to snowboard that day only to drive an hour and a half home to close out the day. It sounded like a long day and I wasn’t sure if I had its in me to pull it off.

But, my wife (unknowingly) who was 80 miles away at home with the kids put a little fire in me the night before when she asked if I was going to do this or not. I had to. I was already so close, and you never know when an opportunity like this might come again.

It was -3 that morning and I scrambled to find the perfect location before the alpenglow popped. I’m stoked with how this image played out and will be forever grateful in making this adventure happen.
