Colorado Backcountry: OMFG! Did this really happen? 12.2.06-12.3.06

Taking our chances on a new locale in the northern part of the state, we set out with hopes of at least making some turns, scoping out some new lines, and maybe findind some soft snow. Checking out a new bc spot always makes for a fun adventure, even when the turns aren't that great. What started as a recon mission ended up being an all out deep powder feeding frenzy. On Wednesday night over 2' fell, with another 15"+ on Friday night. We had found the powder keg and there was not another soul in sight for a good 15 miles.

Today was one of those days where there's no lunch break, no stopping for pictures (managed to snap a few), and just all out charging.

Some pics of our early morning ride in:
