Opening weekend delight

Once again, Aspen was blessed with a BIG storm on opening weekend for
Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk. Aspen Mtn. and Snowmass have been open
for a couple of weeks. Over a meter of snow fell on the slopes, which
made for some memorable turns. AND for some challenging Unicyling, so
that is why this is in RSU. Powder turns in the morning, and 36er riding
in the afternoon. The roads were buff white, temperature was -18 C, and
the sky was dumping snow. I road only about 16 km's, but between the
cold and the daylight running out, that was all I had in me. Fun to be
back in winter full on, so I can tele ski, snowboard, and uni all in the
same day. Happy Holidays

Shred the Gnar indeed!

I was lucky enough to be in Vail yesterday for the 12" of fresh snow. A
great day of face-shots.

It was great till my buddy set off the slide that closed Blue Sky
Basin.

Speaking of slides...Did you know Cory?

BIG storms are just amazing, being part of them is really quite epic. I
put in almost an 11 hr workday on ski patrol on Saturday. I was part of
avalanche control routes, medical assistance on the hill, and opening of
runs. I was outside 9 out of the 11 hrs, it was one of the best days
because of that. Like I said years ago in this forum: There is no such
thing as bad weather, just bad clothing!
