This week has been a busy week of preparing for my upcoming trip to Alaska. I hope to be able to post a blog entry while I’m up in the northern state, but internet access is not predictable right now. I will surely post pics when I return!
I’ve hit up Berthoud Pass twice this week: once on Sunday with Frank, and then after school (for a dusk patrol) on Tuesday with Frank and Sydney. I didn’t break out the camera on Tuesday, but I did on Sunday. Here’s some pics.

Beautiful views

The first lap took us all the way down to the Peter Rabbit cabin.
Then we went back up to the next ridge for another ski. Frank dropping in:

Looking back up at our tracks. I like how our tracks have much bigger turns than the tracks next to ours. Who needs to make all those turns anyway? 
Some not-so-smart snowboarders trying to get after it. Not exactly the brightest thing to do when the CAIC rated the snowpack as “Considerable” that day- which means human-triggered avalanches are likely. Booting right under some huge over-hanging cornices sounds like a death-wish to me!
Someday I want to ski this:
It was a fun day to get out, though it was probably the warmest day I’ve skied all season. Spring is definitely here with warm temperatures and the monsoons that bring the wet-snow blizzards.
