All things Crested Butte

Did a tour up Snodgrass this morning. Shedding layers early on and at 5 degrees in the sun it felt very warm.

went about 1.5 miles up, realizing the snow was complete shit, we turned around. It was total boiler plate ice. Made me realize how good the mountain is doing with what they have.

Overall a gorgeous morning, the sky couldn’t get any bluer.  My goal today was to get some cardio in and mission accomplished.

Stellar day today!  They even opened the lifts a bit early which was awesome!  First run top of Silver Queen down to East River. Snow felt really good. Then several off east river than we did 2 more from Silver Queen back to the base. 
 

Umbrella Bar for lunch then did some mellow runs from that side. Left around 1:30 and lines were getting busy (for CB).

Woah, look at all the bumps!   Very much appreciated.  Keep practicing!

Phl was a little sluggish this morning. Usually i zip right through, but enough time to grab an overpriced coffee. 
sitting in DFW, flight to gunnison is a little delayed, it looks like they switched planes on me.  Another coffee, and maybe a chick fil a breakfast sandwich. Everyone knows im a sucker for a breakfast sandwich.

I can’t remember the last time I skied powder.  First run I was all over the place and fell once. By run #2 I was sort of finding a rhythm, but going slow. After the 4th powder run my legs were feeling it and I didn’t want Dan to have to wait for me anymore so we split up. The snow got easier the more it tracked out but by then my legs were tired.  Didn’t want to be all used up on day 1.
