Sweet day, a few small clouds but overall warm and just the perfect temperature. Didn't have time to hit up A-Basin, as we were pressed to get back to Denver to see family, so I got some car serviced "backcountry" down loveland pass. Took three runs, nice corn until about half way (where it refroze overnight) and mashed potatoes down by the bottom third.
Lots of snow left, and if I'd felt compelled I could have skied all the way from the top of the pass down to I-70 where the loveland base comes in. A dozen or so tracks in the 7-sisters slide area for those who know where that is.
The first few pictures are of a closed wet slide on palavachini at A-basin... I would imagine that patrol set the slide off so there would not be a repeat of last years events... I however, do not know that for sure. The palavachini side of the mountain is closed at this point in the season...
Good day out here! Always good for an easterner to come out and get 3 days in! Hopefully, I'll be up in the Chic Chocs next week. And then its Chile in August! The summer is shaping up well.
