This video will make your mouth water so aggressively you’ll get dehydrated.  Morgan Boyles and Jake Sakson—the Telemark Mountaineering dream-team out of Aspen Snowmass—go BIG linking up two of Aspen’s huge faces in a single push.

With a round trip of over 20 miles and 13,000 vertical feet of skiing, the team tops it off by Telemarking each 3000+ foot line top to bottom without stopping—from 13,000 feet…  Seriously?  See for yourself, it’s nuts.  This video represents the fusion of mountaineering, the enlightenment of backcountry slogging, and the fluidity of telemark freeriding.  Sit back and enjoy imagining your legs burn like molten lead on Venus.
