A new web site has been launched to try and get people more information about traveling to and fro. The problem I had with it was that when I needed it, my iPhone couldn't launch the mobile site.
But wait a minute, I thought this was a skiing blog?!! It is, I'm getting to that. I woke early because Sky and I started late last Saturday and had to turn around at Georgetown, my first U-turn on an interstate. So, this weekend, we wanted to sample some of the new powder, so we got an early start. We didn't have any problems with the snow packed roads.
We skied hard from the first gondola to the last run through Area 51 where Sky usually hangs out with his friends. But today, it was about just the two of us doing tree runs in the Outback and getting separated but then getting back together. It was great snow, not a lot of it but at this point we are beggars for snow, so we aren't picky. This was my 7th day and Sky's 18th or so... he's starting to lose count. We had nice chats with people who lived in Keystone, Michigan and from our Front Range. Everyone was in high spirits with the new snow which has only been measured in inches.
This is called "free skiing" on the top of Loveland Pass (11,990). I have no interest and to this point, Sky doesn't either. It's great to see people thumbing their collective noses at the high prices of the resorts. As I walked by the ticket windows at Keystone, I think I saw that a ticket was an even $100. Since we bought the Colorado Pass, the more we use it, the cheaper it gets per day.
It was a great day to be skiing with my buddy and we had some memorable runs in fresh powder. Someday, they'll figure out I-70, but I don't think it will be in my lifetime.
