April...Happy Birthday to Me!

Like or Share this post.

The video from April turned out really well...perhaps even my favorite so far (see below).

As mentioned in the video, I have some big plans for May and June, and they are not in Colorado.  So, I thought now would be as good a time as any to do a photo tribute to my season in Colorado.  Most of my focus this season has been on video, but we were still able to catch a few good pics here and there.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all of the people that made this season so memorable.  Skiing (at least for me) is about so much more than just sliding on snow.  The friendships forged and strengthened are invaluable.  I'm already looking forward to getting out with y'all next winter!

There were lots, and lots, and lots of turns like this.

We were flipping off of natural features in December...pretty darn fun.

We hit larger cliffs early in the season that we had to wait all season for last year.
