Ski Terrain in the San Juans
We had a great trip to Colorado over the 4th of July.
Super fun being up on the ridge with a little different crowd.
Also great to see everyone down in town.
Found some great ski terrain.
Remember to find the gully to the left of the meadow where the road ends.
And the elbow meadow is still lookers left of that.
All the chutes look good.
The tree thinning areas look good.
Would be cool to see the ownership lines.
is FS land roadless or designated routes.
Lou Creek/Deer Creek ...leads to outfitters.
Middleton's
Mitchel's
Judd's? Judson's?

Deep Spring
It was a very unique spring of skiing. One of the craziest I can remember.
The winter usually starts off with a bang here with big storms in Sept Oct and Nov. Then there is a typical indian summer lull in Dec and Jan.... and it usual snows lots in the spring, but this year was more pronounced at both ends.
Spring skiing started with the 6 foot dump while we were at the yurt...and it didn't end until the end of may. Who knows, the way this spring is going, we may have a few more powder days in June.
Some Great Moments:
Skiing from the yurt, in the storm at night with 8 good friends.
Skiing up from the yurt in the wind storm with AS and BO.
Bluebird day at Alta with BO and Caleb with two feet of fresh. We dropped into High Boy first run then the Ho, then lifts stopped when the power shut down. We waited for hours the it paid off. The day went from good, to shity to great. We got lucky on this day becasue many were stuck on lifts for hours or went home. By the time sugarloaf opened most people had gone home and you could cruise to the Collins side even though lifts on that side were closed. We traversed into ballroom totally untracked with nobody behind us. Unheard of and surreal.
The May days at the bird when everyone showed up to ski the epic deep cold may storms. The hour trams. The bazaar lift organizations. It was just like Christmas.
Getting first tracks under Gad2 off Knucklehead.
Riding snowbird with Sam and BO and getting sluffed in little Corbet's and dropping into Alta with Sam.
Skiing Alta at 6pm with Luke and BO and skiing the north face of Baldy at the limit of steep and deep.

Yurt 2010
It snowed and snowed and snowed. Each night more than the next. On the last night Jill and I dug our way out of the the cozy snowcave into a nighttime blizzard to find our skis barried to the waist. We all skined out together in the night throught the super deep blizzard. It was fun to have two flashes, triggers that worked, time to work with it all and patient skiers. I learned a lot. Little did we know that our "spring sking" was just begining.
