Farewell 2010
Like or Share this post.
What a year it has been! There were great times spent with family and loved-ones, adventures with old friends and relationships forged with new friends. Oh yeah...there was also a little skiing wedged in there too. In fact this was the first year that I skied in every month of the year consecutively.
December in the mountains of Colorado provided the perfect send off to 2010. Tremendous amounts of snow fell in the high country and I had more powder days than I can count. I even managed to get some of it documented. Check it out below! Big thanks to Joel Gratz at the Colorado Powder Forecast (see link on the right) for helping me time my powder day adventures.
Video (watch this one, it's good): I spent some time on this one and got help from Mike Bibeau (CUFST alum) of Hoodlum Productions. Hopefully it will inspire you.

Smokin' Yards BBQ became our favorite place to stop and eat on the way home (in Idaho Springs)...you can see why.

An Early Christmas Present
Like or Share this post.
My Christmas present came early this year (December 11 and 12) and it took the form of face-shots and over the head pow. And in the Christmas spirit I didn't hoard my gift, but instead shared the experience with good friends. Just like Bing Crosby, these are the sort of days that I dream about.

The start of a turn...
...and the middle of the turn.
Up for air.
Tim get's a little bit of snow on his face.
Tim just can't seem to catch a breath.
About to get a face-shot.
And of course there were some cliff drops and pillows...

The ice made getting food into my mouth a difficult task.

Pre-Thanksgiving Pow Feast
Like or Share this post.
The snow pack isn't deep, but it is soft. Soft enough, and just deep enough to feast on some November pow. This is the perfect time for rock skis (which is why you don't see me on my 4FRNT's).
Thursday, 11/11/10: Dawn Patrol with Gratz
Joel Gratz (founder of the Colorado Powder Forecast) and I got up and did a "dawn patrol" day at Berthoud. We were rewarded with some nice soft turns and zero crowds.
Friday, 11/12/10: "I've been through the mountains on a peak with No-Name, it felt good to get snow on my face..."
I took CUFST folks out for their first full backcountry ski day. Some nice soft turns and face shots were had. Snow was great up high, but a little lacking when we got further down. Everyone still had a great time.
Pics & Video: It was my first time using the helmet cam this season, so the angle is a little funky. It will be better next time.

The sun just cresting over the mountains.
The skin track through the new snow.
Inversion in the valley.
Going up.
Gearing up to drop in.
Coming down.
Happy.
Some interesting helmet cam pics...
