Like Donkey Kong, it is back on!

A bit thin on the coverage.

The Continental Divide.

I skiied that many runs today.
I'm #1, And it's day 1 of this season

I'm pleased with the decision to go with a Loveland Ski Area mid-week pass. It took exactly 46 minutes from my house to the lot where I rolled in at about 1:15pm.A front row spot awaited me as I opened the 2008-09 session of the Afternoon Ski Club. The temp was a balmy 51 degrees. The sun drenched the reported 3 open runs that were more like 2 runs that conjoined near the bottom to form a third run. Conditions were anywhere from slushy to icy depending on sun or shade exposure. As I shook the rust off I wiped out under the lift on run #3, I'm such an amateur. I'll be posting all season and encourage others to share your afternoon ski/board experiences and pictures and video too at  http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=30866337859.
