What a difference from when I left Colorado, to Washington riding to back home to Colorado with the change in snow. Luckily for me my Washington trip offered up fresh snowfall when I was there but when I came back to Colorado the sun had been hitting the mountains with a warm spell. I finally made it out on the slopes today with Steve after catching back on work.
We made our way to Sunshine to just play around, bomb runs and I used the easy terrain to mess with the midnight in how it turns. The snow since I left has really softened up, it’s spring conditions on the mountain right now. Sunny, warm (like hoodie, t-shirt warm) and slushy terrain especially on lower mountain.
After Sunshine, we cut over to the terrain park to lap the park. I went through the mini park and Rabbit Ears Park, then hit up the halfpipe which was fun on the softer snow day but a lot warmer on lower mountain than up high with the winds keeping you cool.
We definitely need more snow, the snow you can see isn’t so much white on some of the runs. Regardless I’m back on the mountain and continue to ride some new boards.
