Thread: Couple of pictures

We skied Wolf Creek and Wolf Creek Pass on Superbowl Sunday. 12" new. Not too shabby.

In the Waterfall area, Duph:

I hear they need about 40 square miles of untracked...

As for a trip report, I'll just say that it was a local's day so the lift tickets were half price. We did multiple laps off the knife ridge, and in the waterfall area. All good. Jumped that cornice a couple of times. I'm all excited about getting some air now that there's powder to land in. We weren't quite worn out once the lifts were done, so we drove up to the pass and skinned for one more sweet, deep gladed run.

Here's a bit that Duph wrote:

We got in the door late in the night. Wet ski stuff needed drying.
Arranged soaking things by the fireplace with football highlights playing
on TV. Looks like we missed a good one. We began skinning from a scenic
overlook on Wolf Creek Pass probably around the time that some new beer
commercial was being unveiled. The hoopla, the see-saw battle, the
flatulant horse.... We missed it all. <shrug> Somehow, skinning through
canopies of fluffed-over evergreens in total serenity on a bluebird
afternoon seemed better.

Got in a gorgeous 700 foot run through spaced out glades at sunset. Black
dog loved it. Jumped a big cornice into big untouched powder to start off
the day. Space Station loved it. Lap after lap at the little old ski area.
It was a powder day and everybody loved it. Missed the Super Bowl without
an ounce of regret.

Duph, Duph, Duph, man - what were you thinking of? In time this pow day will meld into a thousand others and as you sit grizzled in your rocking chair, your strangely large-footed grandchildren padding up and down on the verandah, you'll come to regret the moment when you'll be stuck for an answer when one of them pipes up...

"Grandad, what was it like when Janet Jackson's nork fell out?"

Um, just some scenery...

Hey, it looks like we're going to Monarch tomorrow and back to Wolf Creek the next day. Can you come? Maybe Vail on Friday.

jealous, Mir! Berthoud's been going off lately. Well, ok last weekend was beauteous, and i'm assuming they're getting pounded as we speak.

Leg's finally primed and ready. Been doing nothing but BC lately. i'll buzz you when i think i could meet up with you and Duphster.

Happy turns.. .

Hey, darlin. I got your email. Didn't stay away from the internet too long, didja? I've had Berthoud on the brain lately. Lemme know the next time you head that way. Or A basin, if you want to go inbounds. I skied over there the other day and Pali is pretty nice.

I'm such a goof, I saw teleheli's post in the am radio thread and pulled up his history and got to this thread and replied without reading the dates.

So anyways, are you guys going to East Vail this Friday? How bad do you think I'd have to suck up to get towed on Vail Pass by somebody's new ride? Really more interested in East Vail, but what do I know?

figured i'd best pay some dues to e-friends and keep in contact. plus, gotta submit resumes online so had to find net access somewhere. odd, i was certain i'd clicked on the Adams County public educ. homepage link but whaddya know, the link misdirected my valiant efforts at full time employment and took me to this page. damned web programmers. . .

anyway, about berthoud or A-basin: Kewl. I'll ring ya in a couple days for this saturday or sunday. berthoud's a little scary lately but we'll see. pack's horrible.

Yeah, I know. My Valentine's Day fiasco included driving up to Hahn's Peak, skinning up 500 feet, digging a pit and then backing down and skiing low angle glades. Why didn't I ski with my friends at Snowmass?

So, even the Steamboat area has succumbed. Our pit had about 18" of newer snow on top of a very slidey 2" layer of surface hoar. Fortunately there was no significant depth hoar and no slab layers. A little time should work it out. What did you see at Berthoud?

Now that's funny.
