Colorado

I wish I could have made it up this weekend.  I am already thinking about next season...anyone have a snowmobile?  there is still some good backcountry...

I too hope to buy a snowmobile in the next year or two.

Aspen is open for this weekend only.

I'm waiting to hear on friends to see if anyone will make the trek with me...damn people this time of year.  It's still snowing in Steamboat so technically winter hasn't ended.

^^I hate your doc.  Come fall we will shred!

I was gonna hit up Aspen tomorrow but my breck friends are hitting Indy pass on sunday so i'm gonna go along for that.  Should be fun.

For sure, once basin and loveland opens back up...i'll be up for riding.  I love summer but really it's a count down till shred time again.

Still seeing about tomorrow, woke up with a nasty sore throat today so trying to decide whether to ride or stay home and skate.

Nice on the motorcyle!  I saw a guy in town today cruising on his.  I've never been on one..seems like so much fun.

I went skating today...good to get back on a longboard.  Only one run off the board like mad cause a rock patch was coming up, haha

Yeah I thought about that, my thumb is scraped up from just holding the grip tape 

Yeah not that into summer sports...longboard is enough for me.  Soon the snow will be dropping and I'll be riding again :) 

In the mean time...it's finally time for tubing the river.  Thank god I can finally use my tube that has a beer holder and an area to hold 6 cans...YES!

haha tubing with beer...it's a drunkfest on the river but so much fun!

Wakeboarding during the week with Softball.  Heading over to Grand Junction for a wedding this weekend.

I have just been in the gym everyday trying to get my shoulder back up to 100% full strength for the season.  I have also been trying to get in plenty of cardio to get my lungs and legs ready for the season. 

Ugh, I still don't know if I am getting a pass at all this year.  I just got the news that I am going to have some probably expensive dental work done, so those funds might be dried up.  In all likely hood I am just going to get a Winterpark Pass sans Copper and Steamboat.  Buying for two and the money just doesn't look like it's going to be there.  I also really hate the I70 shat show and it's the worst driving to Summit and Vail.  Especially going home, going up, I can deal with.  Getting off at 40 can knock an hour to three hours off the drive.  You still get stuck but it's not as bad.

I will have my Vail Pass, Berthoud Pass, Loveland Pass, and Monarch Pass rockin' all season of course.  Vail Pass is becoming a new favorite bc spot.  Fairly low avy danger at the spots I've been hitting with lots of cliffs, mushrooms and generally fun natural features.  It's also very easy to snowshoe in and out of if you don't have a split.  I plan on hitting that up a bit more on Saturdays this season.

Let me know if you are interested.  I can always use more bc partners and I donate my time as a facilitator for Friends of Berthoud Pass, so I am used to taking people under my wing.

Mmmmmm Epic Pass ahhhh (drooling sound)

I will be a weekend warrior with you for sure Joel.

Yeah it shouldn't be a problem to get someone to watch him. 

might actually have a full crew this year...

If you are going to ride Vail, the extra dough is worth it.  Most people don't use the ten days, but if you use 2 you got your money's worth.  Beaver Creek is worth a visit, and if you can get a tour guide, Vail can be a lot of fun.  It's just such a big mountain that if you don't know the ins and outs, you can spend a lot of time dicking around.  

sign me up for weekend trips.

too bad its not the rocky mountain pass with copper and winter park, id love to hitch a ride up there and just pitch for some gas money

problem is the extra hour in the morning is an extra 3 at night.  The time when I could actually use the 10 days is blacked out.  So I will probably put that cash towards a 4-pack to WP and Copper, since Copper is one of my favorite resorts.

well, when it's time to go back to work...we have to come home.

i also got the super pass +, good stuff man

Originally posted by killclimbz Well I plunked down for the Superpass +.  Shay, you better be in Steamboat for at least one weekend!

I'll be around, just gonna spend more time in Summit and traveling this year. 

Originally posted by BRUIZZA I am torn about what to do.  I went to vail one day last year and since I didn't have a tour guide like killclimbz suggests I was freaking lost and unhappy all day.  It seemed like for every 10 minutes of good riding I spent 20 minutes skating through a flat.  $40 bucks isn't a whole lot especially since it is $90+ for a one day ticket.  I will most likely be buying my pass 2 weeks from today so I guess I will decide by then.  infinit if I get one of these houses I am looking at then it should be easy to meet up in the morning.  They are all in the westminster/arvada area which puts me closer to the mountains.  That drive from the DTC sucked.

^^^^  Yeah, it was dumping on us too in Vail, that was friggin awesome!!  I can see why it wouldn't be such a great experience with a beginner taggin along, but I guess we were all there at one point....    Its funny that you brought up the Burton demos.  Me an my girl were at the Burton flagship store in Vail and she was gonna demo a Feelgood ES until they told us it was going to cost $60!!!  I was thinking "why would I PAY $60 to demo a board???"  That money would be MUCH better spent on alcohol at the end of the day    Did they charge you to demo at Breck?  I've never demo'd anything up on the hill before, but it seems like the manufacturers wouldn't (shouldn't IMO) charge to demo equipment if they are trying to attract business.....
