Bring it.
BIG snow amount forecasts for many of the CO mtns through end of week. A quick edit of some footage from Sunday at Berthoud pass. No music so be sure to play the music player on the blog.
There was 10" of new snow reported overnight and the snow was still falling. Helmet cam was a little shaky but good enough for a little teaser vid. Approximately 3,500 vertical over a 4hr tour... 7am-11am. Perfect timing as when we returned to the BP parking lot it was FULL. Not even room for Santa's sleigh...

12.11.10 Berthoud Pass
Arrived at the BP parking lot at 6:30am to find jdwicks, AKA John Denver, headlamp lit and itching to get on the uptrack. Fortunately we were waiting for one more (Jeff) so had some time to get down that last lung dart before we skinned over to Floral Park.
Lap 1: East Side, Floral Park:
I'm pretty sure Jeff & John (below) will tell you this is about as good as it gets for 7:00am:
Lap 2: West Side, The Plunge:
Lap 3: West Side, The Plunge:
The snow will continue through early week with a short break before the next front comes through just before the weekend... Keep 'em up!
Don't forget to be safe, read below article and link to video on youtube - drainage between BP and WP:

danger under the snowdon quad
Soligully and Trouble Maker on Snowdon quad chair getting ready to avoid the human bowling pins on the way down. Well they avoided everyone except for each other. They collided directly under the chair. Soligully ended up in the woods and Trouble Maker had a close encounter with the snow gun. Some crew we have! Steer clear of the rookie tele skier and "morgan rocket mouse" on her new skis

11.14.10 - Day 3
Early curtain call this morning hitting the road at 5:45am. Clear skies and roads until Empire and then had to deal with winter driving conditions up to the pass. Not quite white knuckles but keeps you on edge. After logging close to 2,500 vert and 4 laps, I was on my way back to Denver at 10am as the crowds started to arrive.
It's starting to fill-in real nice up there. It will continue to snow everyday through Wednesday this week, so Friday should be a good day to play hookie up at Berthoud.
Until then, keep your tips up!

New Boots for 10/11
After six seasons rocking' the Salomon's I figured it was a good time to invest in some new footwear. Opting for the Tecnica's was a decision I may regret. My first and last pair of Tecnica's was on the Explosion 8's back in mid-90's (yes gentleman, we're getting old). I remember the break-in period was tough, but then grew to love them before ripping the sole off the right boot at Hunter... Good times.
Well now I don't have to wear my BD's at the resort anymore. Be good and be safe as we head into winter.
Next purchase, new ski's. But first I have to buy a pass. Anyone have an extra couple, two-tree thousand laying around?

Montauk
Another amazing day!!! Unfreakin believable!
Went out with my Dad, Mike, and Sal for a day trip to Montauk for the fall run. The amount of fish we saw is indescribable. Watching thousands of fish feeding is a cool experience, catching them is even better! We lost count of how many Bass we pulled over the side...all in the 27"-32" range.
My father and I...
30"er
Never caught a bird in my life. Three guys caught 2 birds each. Yup, we caught 6 birds...6 freakin birds...never heard of such a thing. We would think a fish was on...but the line would be going straight up in the air. We would fly em like kites until they crash landed. Funny, in a sick kinda way. All birds were unharmed.
Mike...
Check out the bass blitzing in the background...it never gets old.
Grace...she had a full day after deciding she couldn't handle just watching anymore and jumped into 3' choppy swell to see if she can catch either a bird or a striper. Neither...but at least she tried...and she had a blast! I think she likes fishing more than I do...

'MANCATION'
Spent about 8 days in Lond Island last week with Mike C. Caught about 20 Sea Bass, 6 Fluke, a few Sea Robins, 2 blue fish and one puffer fish!!! First time ever catching a puffer...very cool looking fish!!! Surfed great waves almost every day until our arms couldn't paddle anymore. Went scuba diving in a few spots, Mike speared a nice size fluke, we both saw a HUGE ray, and collected a bunch of conch (welk) to make a salad with.
Great week!! We'll be doing more spearfishing this season...hopefully with some good stories to follow.
The annual Mancation is on!
The smallest seabass ever!
On the way out of the Shinnecock inlet to the atlantic. Early start for what turned out to be a long day of diving and fishing.

Salt Lake City
Trouble Maker representing Killington at Lonestar Taqueria in Salt Lake City.
Snotsicle sitting on the rooftop with Mt. Olympus west slabs in the background. Mt. Olympus is between Millcreek Canyon and Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Another memorable trip to Utah despite the 32 hour drive back home. We had a great time hanging with my roomies and visiting my favorite spots around SLC.
