Colorado Backcountry: Berthoud Pass

With almost 35" of new snow over the last 4 days, Mary Jane was banging. The crowds were kept to a minimum due to the strong winds and blowing snow on the summit, so I went straight for the Timberline lift. Spent most of the day here doing laps in the trees carving out fresh pow turns, lots of deep fluffy stuff to be found. The bottom half of the mountain was pretty crowded so I made my way over to the C lift, found some really killer pow in the trees near DeRailer, sessioned the steeps and chutes on that side of MJ for the rest of the day. Found some pretty sweet little hits and jumps and even a log slide heading down the cat walk back to the MJ parking lots.

Next week I will be in Park City Utah, they have been getting hammered lately. Not as bad as Tahoe, but I'll take what I can get. We are planning on shredding 3 or 4 days out there at Canyons, Powder Mountain, Solitude, or Park City. Think Snow!
