Colorado Snow
After an awesome day exploring Peak 6 and skiing off the Kensho SuperChair we decided to check out Peak 7 and 8. Luckily we were greeted with snow flurries mid-day and after a few runs it was coming down hard. We had an inch or two underfoot in no time and enjoyed the soft, fluffy […]
Even though Peak 6 is not new to Breck, it was new to us. We haven’t had a chance to visit and check it out ourselves until now. And we had a great time. We started a late, sunny, blue-bird morning heading up the gondola from Main Street and jumped off at Peak 7. From […]
We had another great mid-December day at Beaver Creek. Yesterday was cloudy and snowy. Today was clear with blue skies and sunshine. What a great weekend! We spent most of the day over at Bachelor Gulch and had a great time on the freshly groomed new snow. We even found a few piles of powder […]
Today was our first day skiing back in Colorado in two seasons! We weren’t around last year and were very anxious to get back to Colorado snow. Today did not disappoint. The forecasters at Open Snow were expecting at least a few inches all over the state. Beaver Creek had 2″ and we had a […]
We had a great first day at Beaver Creek this season. After snowing all Friday and receiving 10 inches of powder, we headed up over the Vail Pass on Saturday morning to be greeted with even more snow fall. Ski Patrol started opening up a bunch of terrain Saturday morning and allowing access to fresh, […]
The snow started falling in Breckenridge by mid-morning. We decided to let it fall and allow the crowds to thin out before we headed to the hill. We ended up starting around 12:15 PM and had plenty of fresh powder on all the groomed runs and plenty of untouched stuff in the trees and harder […]
For the longest time I thought you had to make the trade-off between being able to ski expert terrain or ski with crowds. Spending a day at Monarch proved this wrong. We drove from Breckenridge, past Buena Vista and Salida to arrive at Monarch in about 90 minutes. Once we arrived, around 10:00 AM, we […]
This was our first day of the 2013/2014 season and it was pretty great compared to prior years. While Rachel spent the day at ski school, I spent the day doing laps on the T-Bar. There is much more coverage and terrain available than I would’ve expected for this time of year. Though, it’s fairly […]
