Colorado Backcountry: No Snow, It’s Still Good - 01.28.2007

Submitted by jp on Sun, 01/28/2007 - 22:43

Another day of work in the backcountry, one of our local stashes finally pays out. Pow4Brains, SurfTheEarth and I took the sleds out for some personal chairlift action and found great snow on north facing aspects below treeline. We weren't expecting much but very happy when we took lap after lap of fresh hero powder through the trees. After we had 8 or so laps each we got tired of crossing our own tracks and decided to move on... good thing we did.

Spent the rest of the afternoon riding around on the sleds, scouting a few waypoints in real life and riding even more fresh snow on some lower altitude north facing steeps. Located a great spot to setup the Kifaru for a weekend.
