Random TR- Skiing in Otober!

[ScOtT k]

So, my buddies and I heard that there had been a 2 foot dump in the mountains. We decided to hike up to the top of an old ski area for a couple of runs.

 

 

A nice shot of my friend Sean, and the Berthoud Pass sign. Note that we are at 11,000 feet!

 

 

Almost 2 feet of snow. Very tough to walk through. I am in the blue... stuck on a tree.

 

 

Still stuck... Lame

 

 

We finally make it to the top, and fly down.

 

 

Our tracks. We were some of the first to ski berthoud this year.

 

 

Let's do another lap.

 

Anyhow, we had alot of fun. Think Winter!!!

I can't wait for ski season to start. best I'll do this is New York, but that's better than nothing.

^^ I don't even ski on snow that out of towners find absolutely delightful.

 

I am spoiled. Anyhow, it looks like another 4 or 5 inches will hit us tomorrow.

Cant wait for ski season.

 

 

Here in Toronto we have a little hill/mountain ski area about an hour north, which is fun to go to every weekend...

 

 

I wish i lived in Colorado or BC though...

 

 

 

 

 

 

p.s. has anyone ever been catskiing? im going this winter, just wondering what it is like.

Cat Skiing is alot of fun, but very exhausting. The snow was heavy and deep. After just a few runs I was ready to go home. A great expierence though.
