4" New at Berthoud!

The cold weather overnight preserved the quality of the snow for today's turns. It was a great day for the 27th of April!!! Total vert descended approx 4,000ft, 3 hrs of uphill time.

And look for the Mtn Goats, they showed up in a few of the pics, "Baaaaaaaa":



There's one!


Cornices are beginning to drop, another few weeks and the cirque will be able to be dropped! Those snow boulders are car sized at the bottom of the hill.


Baaaaaaaaaaa. Looking over western summit at Berthoud.


Double Ouch.

Last Line straight down the gut.

April 17th - 10" of New Snow!

The Ullr played a trick on Mother Nature when he blanketed the western slope with 8-12" of new snow overnight! Yes, that was April 17th... He was a little late on the Gaper Day prank.

Breck claimed 10"
Berthoud had about 6" at the main parking lot, and close to 10" or so on the west peak

What a year. It is what it is...

Summer who?

Season comes to an end! Not yet!

Well Solitude closed this past Sunday 13th. With 50+ degrees, sun, booze, girls, snowballs and lots of happy faces! What an awesome way to celebrate the season. The FOG's did a kick azz job setting up the event! (http://www.solitudefog.blogspot.com/) The season was by far the best season my bro and I have ever had. Plenty of new friends and more than enough deep pow turns. Solitude ended their season with a total of 569" of snowfall and a 128" base. That's alot of snow to melt so myself and some other true skiers will be touring Solitude Resort until there is nothing left! Probably deep into June maybe July! Frankie's total vertical 724,135 and 188 Locker room visits.
My vertical was 648,255 with 185 locker visits. Signing out for the Chairlift season. Grinning all the way to '08-'09 season!

Heavy Snow Warning

8-12" of snow and more scattered snow on the way! April

Crap!

Another 16" of fresh snow in the hills this weekend. I can't enjoy it cause the X-ray showed my bone is not healed yet. Another two weeks with my bs splint on. CRAP! I hate rocks that jump out of the snow and punch your hand!
