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 !

I drop in at least every other day looking for something new. Enjoy your time in CO.

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.
