It’s been a rough end of the week, so I took the last couple days to relax and chill.  Today I did make it up to the mountain to take some laps with Steph and Tj who had driven up from Summit County to ride for the day. I took them to my favorite chair, [...]

It’s the first day of April, wow what a season and it’s rapidly winding down.  Today was a holiday on the mountain, April Fools Day or Gaper Day.  It’s had some issues at mountains but this is a day that is about dressing up and having fun.  It’s considered a day for locals and today [...]

Last week I was riding in a t-shirt and light hoodie enjoying slushy snow and sunshine.  This week, the storm rolled through Colorado and continued to cover up the brown spots and eventually make some good powder days.  I waited till today to finally hit the slopes, with enough snow to be a powder day. [...]

During the winter, you spend your weekends getting up earlier than you do for work in order to get the fresh powder.  As the season winds down, you find yourself sleeping in till the sun warms the snow up.  At least for me that’s the case and I’m on the same schedule as my friends. [...]

Supposedly some snow is on the way and I definitely hope so…but since there hasn’t been new snow, I’ve been lapping the park and pipe.  I’m not good at park so this has been an interesting week. Definitely not Champagne powder I tried to video myself riding over a barrel but that didn’t come out, [...]

Well the mountain is getting grim, a lot less white and a lot more brown coming out quickly.  I love warm days but I want the season to last until April 12th as well.  It means less driving for me to go to stay in Steamboat until the season ends, then branch out to other [...]

It was another day to enjoy a ride break, the sun was out and couldn’t resist heading to the snow to enjoy it.  I joined a couple co-workers for a ride break to the halfpipe, we’re having an employee pipe competition on Wednesday so we figured some practice time would be good.  Most of my [...]

It was such a nice day and hard to turn down not going outside to ride.  Right now since it’s spring break we have more people in town than usual, so lines are longer.  Even on my ride break, I decided to just lap park chair.With no cloud in sight, the weather was warm out. [...]

Yesterday we had another powder day and brought the snow out today with plenty of leftovers on the mountain.  I talked with Steve to meet up and ride the mountain during our ride breaks.  Unfortunately for me, on the gondola ride up I got a phone call to tell me how much my truck total [...]

After spending the morning with the SheRide camp, I met up with Dan and his friends, Jen and Marc.  As soon as they arrived Saturday night it started to snow again, this time delivering the goods overnight.   I met up with them for lunch, enjoying some good Gondola Pub & Grill on the balcony [...]
