A Week After (6 Jan 2013)

(Last Updated On: )

It had been a week since the last significant snowfall. Most of our standard “go-to” areas had long been skied out. With a settling, but still sketchy, snowpack, we were forced to be creative in finding safe, yet good, turns. But, we found them in an area off of Kebler Pass.

Frank and I headed out with our friends Rob, Sydney, and Tom. The skin track:

Tight switchbacks were everyone’s favorite 😉

We took two laps in the same area, but two different lines. Below is a combination of photos from both laps. Tom:

It was a good day out! But, we still need more snow. With a storm in the near forecast, let’s hope that ULLR provides. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow 🙂

We love the backcountry, but experiencing resorts is fun too. Get discounts on your lift tickets here:

Aside from skiing, biking, and all outdoorsy things, Brittany Walker Konsella also loves smiles and chocolate :) Even though she excels at higher level math and chemistry, she still confuses left from right. Find out more about Brittany!

    That aspect looks a little cold for you, don’t you think?

    Well, not as cold as today I guess. 🙂
