For me, it was my second day of really learning how to carve on a sled. There was a lot of this.

Since this last storm, the biggest dust storm I have seen has wreaked havoc on our snowpack. We now have several different layers of dust in between snow storm layers. We will keep a careful eye out to see how this impacts snow stability and melting.

    What an unbelievable chronology of trips! Anything on Hagar Peak near Loveland?

  • Brittany

    Hagar is many miles from Crested Butte, but I did ski it once back in 2006. Here’s a link. Let me know if you have any questions!
