Well, I'm 'lumping' these days all together because. Tuesday was a bit uneventful. We skied at Copper which is a lovely mountain but early season conditions meant that my favorite trees were a bit, um, light in coverage. Still a great day though! no pics... hmmmm....
Wed we decided that this storm was going to hit SW Colorado so we jumped in the car and headed South to Durango/Pagosa Springs! We left the condo early in the morning (Keystone) and headed down to Wolf Creek where it was just DUMPING!!! We skied steeps and trees and didn't hit a single rock or root. It was just incredible!
After that the normal '1 hour' drive to Durango became 2.5 hours due to the snow/weather conditions! yikes!
Then came Thursday morning..... Durango Mountain, aka Purgatory, reported 20" of fresh, 8" after the lifts had closed the night before. We headed up there, no doubt in our minds of what we could expect. I think I had forgotten that the mountain was SO FLAT. Blech, but the goods were GOOD!
These cars are in Tucker's parents' neighborhood... not going anywhere, any time soon.
This guy? Parking lot at Purgatory.
