blizzard.

so, colorado is getting a lot of snow right now. which means it is time for lots of fun on the slopes. yesterday john, foot and I rode until we caught last chair and enjoyed fresh snow all day. good times. here's hoping that there will be no lesson for me today (i am an instructor) and can ride to my heart's content.

the only downside about all of this snow is it kept erin from visiting. i miss that girl.

sometimes not smart is fun

full moon from loveland

so we (dave, brian, bean, roo, geraldo and me) went to ride loveland for the first time a couple of nights ago during a full moon. given that good times were bound to be had no matter what, the lack of preparation made it super fun. after our one run we found a bump on the side of the road and ten minutes later it was a kicker. showing his usual approach, geraldo hit the jump at least 20x more than everyone else.

more good snow.

The number of powder days I have been able to ride seems to be increasing at an amazing rate. Today was a short day due to crashes, illness and crowds. However, it wasn't without some fresh tracks. Brian and I hiked off of chair six at Breck where we were able to ride some very good snow. Above is a picture of Brian enjoying some fresh turns.
