They are nice for high-consequence, technical lines, and when conditions are a little sketchy.  While our snowpack is getting better here in Crested Butte, we still aren&#8217;t at a point where we can just ski everything we see with no worries.  So, when Jason, Eric, and Seton offered to show Brittany, Zach, rob, and I their golf course, we jumped at the chance.  The light was a little gray, so the photos aren&#8217;t great, but here they are:<\/p>\n<p>Part of the zone:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/?action=view&#038;current=elkbasinminigolfjan42009003.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/elkbasinminigolfjan42009003.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Eric:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/?action=view&#038;current=elkbasinminigolfjan42009056.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/elkbasinminigolfjan42009056.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/?action=view&#038;current=elkbasinminigolfjan42009071.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/elkbasinminigolfjan42009071.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Zach races his slough:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/?action=view&#038;current=elkbasinminigolfjan42009008.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/elkbasinminigolfjan42009008.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seton:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/?action=view&#038;current=elkbasinminigolfjan42009052.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/elkbasinminigolfjan42009052.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Back to Zach:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/?action=view&#038;current=elkbasinminigolfjan42009019.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/elkbasinminigolfjan42009019.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Weird tree kicker for Zach:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/s244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/?action=view&#038;current=elkbasinminigolfjan42009024.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/elkbasinminigolfjan42009024.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/?action=view&#038;current=elkbasinminigolfjan42009025.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i244.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg23\/franksblog\/golf%20course\/elkbasinminigolfjan42009025.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was a great day.  My first run was my favorite so far this year.  I had some snow moving with me, but I got out in front of it just in time and raced it to the bottom.  Playing with slough really brings another element to skiing, kind of like a surfer in a tube (or so I&#8217;ve always thought, as a non-surfer).  We&#8217;ll be looking forward to hitting this area again soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mini-golf is something skiers talk about when they refer to short pitches.
