Well, I have to start with day 3 because it is fresh in my mind-- the energy i had to expend to ride a foot of fresh at 9 to 13,000 feet. Our plan was to get up early, with the alarm going off at 630a, but with no responsibility, it was easy to hit the Snooze. But eventually, the Freshy God was calling me and i had to get to the mountain! Off to Copper we go!
I could tell by the quanitity of cars in the lot that it wasn't very busy. If you aren't familiar with Copper, they have these tandem trailer bus things that transport you from the lots to the mountain- always an experiance. I think the driver has fun with those shuttles because if you aren't holding on when he changes gears, you will be on your ass! The day was as perfect as perfect gets... Colorado powder is such a treat to ride, being an east coaster- you can blow it out of your hand, its so light! The video included should explain the rest of our day.
Day 2, we spent the day searching for a certain Dakine backpack, which we finally found in downtown Breckenridge, and the pack was really what the doctor ordered, especially since I like making movies; it even has a pocket for the camera! Plus, my new bindings came with the new fashion front toe strap which, being an old schooler, i wasn't ready for the transition, so i was on a mission for some legacy straps. mission accomplished! I met a really cool broheim in a shop called Mountain Wave, at the base of Breck who hooked me up. Dont let me forget to tell you about the awesome vintage ski gallery we went in to, where if i had copious amounts of money, i would be decorating a house i dont own, as well as with pieces from the numerous amazing, high end galleries- which only motivate me to get to the point where i can have a ski house to put the pieces in.
I have put together a quick video of our day (day 3)- so check it out! If you are reading this, see if you can get in touch with Old Man Winter and tell him to keep up the good work!!
