Ski Southeast Messageboard

Its finally snowing in Colorado. Berthoud Pass averages over 400" a year, and the access can't be beat. The area is finally seeing its share of powder- and man is it sweet. Here are some pics from today. (Sorry for the below average quality, the light was crappy all day and it was dumping most of the time)

Bill says, I'm glad I woke up early to get here for this:





Bill likes to ski fast. Its a good thing he wears bright colors:





I had another shot in my head, but it still came out well:





Perfectly spaced trees:





We ran into some other friends and did a couple laps with them:





18" on top of a decent crust- yum:





And to top it off, I saw this guy chillin' in a tree in my neighborhood when I got home:

America the Beautiful!!



Could you get a little more contrast between the snow and the skier please.

Just wait until its sunny.

Awesome pics, looks great out west!

I miss that place. I took my avalanche safety classes waaaay up there on Berthoud Pass.



Funny story: I had a can of mace in my pocket on my keychain (don't ask), and it exploded on my crotch while I was doing a beacon search excersize. That was a brutal ride back to the camp.
