Checking on the.......
 

.......Hike in skiing for this spring. Last year it wasn't worth the hike in so Al my ski buddy asked me to give it a check out to see if ths year will be a little better. We're only at about a 73% of average snow fall in this area this year. Two of are five favorite chutes are looking like a no go this year still. Two should be good till at least mid June hopefully and the third will be iffy after mid to late May. So if your feeling "Tuff" it's only about 7 miles in to where we start making laps. Usually skin up at first light and ski till 1:30 - 2:00 when the avalanche danger starts.
















Now you just have to figure out how to get where you need to be for this kind of fun!;)

Ski and fly till the sun goes down, then chase the little girl's all around!

Nice pictures, but I am done with all the back country skiing I ever want to do. It is so much easier to just take a lift! It is snowing like crazy here now, how is it up in your area?

Hey Rocky,
Getting more here too. Was more moisture in it this morning in the valley. Hitting it again Monday! Rough life but someone has to do it!:D

Weekend in Vail
 

We just spent the weekend skiing Vail and it was great! All runs were untracked Saturday morning and the powder in the trees and back bowls was awesome, even though it was wetter than the usual Colorado gold. Sunday brought warmth and Sunshine to help illuminate all the stashes. Beautiful!

Earn your turns...
 

Good to know somebody else out there in RV land is into earning your turns...
