As soon as the Loveland Opening Day announcement came yesterday afternoon, I packed my gear and headed down to Summit County to be ready bright and early for shredding.  Last night at a friends place we began to get our gear mounted up and waxed up, the excitement started to grow into this morning when [...]

If there’s ever a depressing sad day in Colorado, it’s when Loveland closes.  There is so much snow and for the last two seasons closing day at Loveland has been a powder day.  We got 3 inches of new snow today to enjoy.  We also had fun BBQing and hanging out.

Today’s crew was Lauren, Adrian [...]

It continues to snow in Colorado but unfortunately only two resorts remain open and this weekend is Loveland’s closing weekend.  I drove down from Steamboat to enjoy the closing weekend of snowboarding and BBQing in the parking lot with friends.  
 
Today’s crew was Jay, Lauren, Adrian, Xavier and my dog Capita came along for the [...]

I left Steamboat Springs this morning with the snow guns cranking away to make the lower mountain and base area covered with snow. Steamboat opens on the 26th so really looking forward to being able to ride my home mountain. Today at Loveland was the Christy Sports Demo. Also this weekend, Copper has [...]

Today was day two of the demos at Loveland and in typical form it was snowing throughout the day. I arrived early and spent the day from one tent to another trying out boards.
Conditions were better than yesterday, it wasn’t as cold and windy but it was still cold and windy. [...]

Today was an industry demo that was worth taking time off from work. I already had the time off due to my Vermont trip but that’s been cancelled so used the days to spend time on the slopes.

I drove down to Loveland this morning to spend today and tomorrow on the slopes. It’s [...]

Saturday night I attended the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) benefit in Breckenridge which was great, I’ll have more on the benefit later.  A couple of us crashed in Frisco so we could ride today.

After dealing with the long lines and mess of people yesterday, I was looking forward to Loveland today. For those not [...]

This morning we turned the clocks back one hour which always makes it interesting when you plan to meet your friends in the morning.   Luckily we managed to all meet with the time changing and get on the road to hit up Loveland for the day.

I carpooled down with Amy, John and Jakub.  There [...]

I stayed true to my word last night that I wouldn’t choose drinking over riding.  Halloween was a fun time here in Steamboat Springs with friends but I made sure to get the cab ride home at midnight so today I’d spend it on the mountain instead of hungover and tired from partying.  

Unfortunately I [...]

We were planning to ride A-Basin today but with such a beautiful day and less people at Loveland yesterday, we ended up back at Loveland.  It was a definitely busier today but still more ride time than lift line time.  

The view of Loveland surrounding people strapping in.  

The lift lines weren’t too bad 
Spent the [...]
