Cyn and I headed up to the mountains with the intention of hitting A-Basin Sunday after skiing Loveland on Saturday. On the way up Loveland Pass, we decided to make some Pass runs. It turned out the wind and snow on Saturday was enough to steer most people away, and what we found Sunday morning was a beautiful basin with untouched lines as far as the eye could see. We found that there were definitely pockets of wind slab 1-2 feet, so we stuck to the lower angle terrain above tree line and did the majority of turns straight off the pass road. We did however manage one early 40-50 minute hike along the ridge above the basin, dropping in for our longest run of the day. We skied fresh lines in 1+ foot of pow all morning By 12:30 we were toast, and headed back to town. This has been an amazing ski season, its not often that storms line up for the weekends like they have this year.
Blue Bird Day! Sun, Snow, Smiles
Got Freshies all Morning Long

Nice Lines All Morning!
