Berthoud Was Good, So were or Guests....

The light when we popped out of the thick trees was pretty amazing

I was trying to play with my DSLR today and set up some cool ski shots so this is what I came up with.

Laura and Jeff came over from Summit to check out our new place. We took the dogs for a walk on the flume trail and met a couple of friends for drinks and dinner at the Indian restaurant Star of India. If you have a chance to make it this place it is totally worth it, good service and good food.

It snowed all night so it was a good thing that Jeff brought his split board. I would have felt bad leaving hum with the girls while I skied some fresh lines. We picked up Craig in the Morning and met up with Jason W on Berthoud Pass. Berthoud is getting more and more popular with stashes getting less and less secret. We pulled up to see other people that were headed the same way. I skied the same place about 5 times last year and didn't see anyone and this year we have been up there twice and seen people twice. It is still one of the less visited places on Berthoud so hopefully it will stay that way.

We got in some really good turns today and hit a couple of things but nothing significant. After our second run one of SS friends Eric showed up to join the fun. We got a couple more runs in and then made our way out. When we got close to the highway I noticed that somebody was boot packing in the skin track. People are starting to get to get really loose and not show etiquette up there. If you are a boot packer make your own track, I promise I won't skin in your boot pack.

Snow Riding and Octomom

We had Veteran's day and I was going to go riding in the Denver area. There is one problem with riding in Denver, I cant't take Gunnar. The alternative was riding somewhere in the Fraser Valley so Gunnar and I ventured out to the Creekside/Flume loop. The conditions were Variable with lots of ice and mud. It was quite an experience and yet another thing that I wouldn't have thought I would ever do. The trickiest part was being on any kind of a slope with ice when the tires would let loose and start slideing. I didn't have to walk much and It was pretty intense on a different level with the focus of not falling on the ice. All in all great fun and exercise for both Gunnar and I.

Anyways someone killed octomom, the green octopus. I wonder who did it?

I think I know who did it...

Another Dog?

She was found by one of my cousins trucker buddies at the Division of Wildlife. The DOW officer said that people drop dogs becuase they think the DOW will know what to do with them. She is Belle formely known as Fiona. Gunner is happy to have a playmate. He is such a big dummy and is always in her face but she holds here own. I say dummy as an endearing term. Self Portrait

Wrestling

She knows how to hold her own...
