Well that was fun, and a medium storm is hitting Colorado, I'm flying there tomorrow.

Cooper, Monarch, Copper Mountain -- Loveland and Berthoud and Monarch pass, maybe stuff off Fremont pass if I can meet someone.

How long are you out there and how much is it going to cost $$ wise?

I am uploading some photos and hope to post them soon.

Ski panther you asked about expense I am proud to say thus far it is minimal. The pictures will show that I saw the sunrise at the top of Loveland pass and made four laps before going to Loveland Ski area with a pass I bought at a bar for $20 the night before. By the way the night before was the day of my arrival in Colorado and Berthoud pass was getting buried, I drove up there to check it out and gave some hitchhikers rides, karma, and I wish I'd focused on that. Other expenses $42 at monarch $75 the first night in Gtown but now i'm down to $30 at an excellent place in Leadville. I will be skiing Cooper during their closing week, $24, and I have a ticket to Copper which is very cheap and perhaps a bit sketchy, we shall see.

So yes it is pretty cheap but I don't care where I go and play it by chance.

But alas it is hard to know what to focus on with the shifting and and uncertain patterns of storm predictions. I m here but it is certainly not a big storm cycle. No complaints. Some pictures, They go from LL pass, to the resort , then 150 miles south to Monarch, I really love Monarch

More later, why not keep posting in an apparent graveyard, it's a lot like whistling.

Resurrection happens in a graveyard. Loveland didn't look to shabby there, at the top of the pass nor in the bowl, but I am looking forward to the report from Cooper. I mean, if you are in Leadville, you must be going to Cooper, eh? Nice work.

Good for you David for getting late season tracks! I was in Breck three weeks ago and had a blast other than spring break crowds. Enjoy !

Good hunting as always. The bowl shot and trees looks like some good powder for spring time conditions. I'm closing out my season at Mammoth in a couple weeks.

Agreed. Nice work!
