I’ve been babying my ankle all week so I could ride, even with some tenderness and swelling still going on.  Luckily a wrapped ankle and some advil helped during snowboarding today. The easy choice was Loveland; no lines and 2 runs are now open offering up more terrain.   I picked up Tom and we [...]

With two mountains open in Colorado there’s no reason not to ride when the opportunity arises.  Here in Colorado it was a beautiful sunny day to make the drive to Loveland to enjoy another day on snow.   I came down with Steve to enjoy the snow.  Steve just got his new Rome Targa’s so [...]

I wasn’t expecting to ride two mountains for opening day and when it came down to it, it was like well why not? I spent the morning at A-basin and the afternoon at Loveland…giving full equal share to both mountains on opening day. I did a brief write-up for Transworld Business with more pictures, some [...]

Looks like a close race here in Colorado for the title of who opens first. Loveland announced opening day for Wednesday beating A-Basin by 30 minutes. Update: A-Basin changed to 8:30am as well…looks like a tie. I have a feeling someone might be running chairlifts at 4am just to get the win.

My favorite early and late season mountain has now started snowmaking to get ready for another early season in Colorado. I love riding Loveland, seriously one of the best mountains for on-snow demo’s that I’ve ever been at and when the entire mountain is open (and it’s not a windy day), the snowboarding out of [...]

Loveland has already put up the countdown to snow making, while it’s just a broad idea of when it will start…it is refreshing to see that there is just a little over 2 months left till snow starts falling (from the sky or machines). I enjoy summer a lot, it’s a great time to hang [...]

It’s closing weekend at Loveland so today was definitely a good day to finish out the season. I met up with friends at 8am to make the drive down to Loveland. It was Jakub, Amy, John and myself to make the trek together. We met up with Jay in the base when we arrived at [...]

Yesterday I had to make my way down to Summit County to purchase my Vail pass for next year (it’s that cheap that I bought one) which meant I stayed the night in Summit County so I could ride today. I made plans to hit up Loveland with Jay. I met Jay originally from Snowboard [...]

So my buddy Steve has some knee issues…so he’s out for a couple weeks. Which is a huge bummer so he’s always up for riding like I am I definitely wish him a speedy recovery so we can shred when he gets back on snow. Today was a girls day at Loveland. It’s pretty wicked [...]

A couple weeks ago when I heard about the Shop Demo coming up at Loveland…I knew I’d want to be there to try out as many boards and bindings as possible. So I made sure to get my name on the list and got the days off work. It was the best two days of [...]
