Return to the S-Tube 4.15.09

(Last Updated On: April 20, 2009)

After a half day of work, Tom and I decided there was still plenty of light left in the day to make a quick run on the S-Tube. After some difficult snowmobiling to get there (a little bit of snow on a crust layer, on a sidehill), we made quick work of the skintrack and were rewarded with yet another late season powder run.

We didn’t get a ton of snow out of the storm that pounded the front range, but that was OK, since we were still able to ski whatever we wanted. It’s still winter up here anyway:
