Brittany, Ben M, Ben F and I did a couple of laps on Axtel’s 2nd and 1st bowls on April 12. With last week’s storm, we just couldn’t resist getting one last shot of powder in the backcountry. When we got to the top of 2nd bowl, we had to wait while the big Furmousky set up his “skideo”, as he called it.
