I watched it snow in Silverthorne last night and this morning we had a couple new inches of snow on the ground for today’s shredding.  I was able to sleep in and plan out another day of shredding at Loveland with Julie. It was a cold day on the mountain but beautiful out with almost [...]

There are definitely somedays when I hate waking up early even though I know I’ll be happy once I hit the snow and Saturday was that day for me.  The driving conditions were rough from Steamboat to Loveland which meant getting up earlier and going slower because of icy roads.

Copper Mountain had opened up on Friday and since I’m a season passholder it made perfect sense to spend Sunday at Copper. I carpooled with Lauren to Copper and met up with Chris from Snowboarderguide to shred for the day before I carpooled back with him to Steamboat. Today’s demo was Capita and Union with [...]
