So my brother and I left Copper mountain Fri for Goergetown where I had reserved a condo style room at a motel there -- Kitchen, balcony, tons of room. That was all because the trip was planned around another friend joining us who unfortunately bailed. I was only obligated for that room one night and we considered ditching to Idaho Spr but felt bad to leave them hanging -- we stayed and felt like kings
Next morning was Loveland--
Low crowds and fast groomers--
Conditions were definately thin and crusty up high--a LOT of slide activity, some pics showing that and general conditions--
One of my drops off the ridge was skiers left of this one (none of my runs from the top were much fun)--
I kept trying to get my Brother into some trees all weekend but he would have none of it , still I got him on the edge of some--
I found a great tree run--
and some others--
And I ended up in some crap as well--
But it was good times in poor conditions overall. We had a mellow close to the day; meeting up at e-tow cabin and then making some relaxed runs--
ending in the BEST in-bounds ski bar in the world--
Our last night we moved into a cheaper room, which was still great and probably more befitting our ilk--
Got rid of my A'basin 4-pack in the lobby to two heavily tatted and pierced snowboard chicks; a family, just checking in, was staring in open dismay at this unexpected procedure
Great time with my brother: "nothings better then blood on blood" I'll close with some art--
Next morning Mike dropped me off in Frasor on his way back to Dalles. I went on to WP/MJ
