Colorado Backcountry: Jonesin’ For Snow - 03.23.2007

Alex and I got out for a day on the sleds. Started late hoping the sun would soften up the crust a little bit. We had some bluebird in the morning but things quickly turned cloudy and low light. As we left around 2pm the snow was falling. We found a couple of good areas of snow and up around 12k in the large bowls it was nice and soft. Ended up riding the sleds most of the day, highmarking and breaking various parts on our sleds. Today my Lefty Throttle was the victim. Photos by Alex.
