Spacin' at the Basin Agin'

This was a day made specifically

for spending at A-Basin. Nary a cloud

was spotted all day. The area is still

only sporting a marginal 42" base,

although mostly open and awesome,

it's the lowest total I can ever remember in

the month of March in my 18 seasons.

I DO remember getting walloped in

April and May here in years past.

All may not be lost yet.

Twistin' in the park.

Gene and Shust downloading.

Belly slide...owww.

Shadow flyer.

How about this for a job? Nice views.

Hanging out.

Double deuce.

Welcome spring! Welcome D.S.T.!

Tribute to Gilbert O' Sullivan

...Alone again, naturally.

The winds of fate pushed me

once again, back to the Basin.

That's all good though, Breck

was absolutely inundated with peoples,

Gooberville, bigtime. I mean if you

were abducted then dropped in

Breckenridge, you might think

that maybe you had been released

in Oklahoma or Texas if you were

judging by all of the license plates.

Hey Me, where me at?

Why it's Montezuma Bowl of course, all smashed n stuff.

"21" was a very average number today.

But an average ski day is...

...a pretty good day always, word.

Marching On

...Into to the second week

of March, trying to get the visits in...

We rode no other lift today.

"We" being The Shust and I

Awesome ski country condo.

Day 20,

and that's all I got. Bye now.

Chairlift Journalism

like Breckenridge and Keystone are

available for FREE at area

ski retail/rental outlets. they can

be downloaded as PDF files,

or viewed right on the slopes via

mobile apps. Please visit Andy's

Wormhole to ski dimentia.

New lift I guess.

There goes #19.

Be back on Thursday I think,

maybe the"Stone"...Keystone.

Crashing Copper

As advertised previously, the A.S.C.

rendezvoused at Copper Mountain today

with me, and a hooky playing B-Luv.

It's always like coming home when we

come back here, today was no exception..

One definition is: "a place of popular resort."

Awesome terrain park feature, so I stop to grab a shot...

...Then out of nowhere,...

this guy came blasting through,...

...And over the sign.

...Precious moments. ( the rider was unscathed)

B-Luv found it to be crowded in Copper's halfpipe.

So he just decided to crash.

Any visit to Copper is NOT bonafide

until a sighting of the legendary "Frank".

Sure enough I spotted him and snapped his pic.

Unidentified rider owns a portion of pipe.

Atop Spaulding Bowl.

B-Luv launches temporarily...

From a cornice near "S"ierra Lift.

Do I wanna bike or ski today?...Wait a minute...

Bike-ski !? That's NUTS!

Disabled Chilean skier rips down the slalom course.

B-Luv bravely steps off of the top of Union Peak.

Tucker Mountain with a full load of lazy skiers

Top of Storm King surface lift.

Copper Mountain has a freeride team,

and they were in the terrain park today,

making small work of the big rollers and hits,

and making look easy, nice.

That's right, day 18, of season 18.0.

I've skied a lot and taken a ton

of pics the last two days, what a blast.

Thanks, to Bluv for the hook-up,

always a treat. More to come next week.
