Friday the 13th..."The Breckening"

Today was the 13th of Friday indeed,

surprisingly the only real bad luck

so far was that the "BIG" dump that

was supposed to paralyze the city and

cream the mountains was merely a myth

and the foot or more of snow forecasted

overnite for Friday was a mere 4 or 5".

It was still very nice on top of Breckenridge

this afternoon.B.o.B., Tewks, Al-X, the Shust,

& Me went to the top of Imperial to

introduce some 1st timers to the

Lake Chutes, Peak 7 as well. It was

very sweet out there.

Air Tewker.

Somebody tell this guy it's the A.S.C.,

not the A.S.B.C! Al-X strays from

the "dark side."

What a weinee.

Party at the Basin next week,

who'll be there, what madness will

transpire, check back to see.

It's Easter, Measter.

Roachie Roach called early

today, Easter Sunday to say that

the conditions up the way were

very nice, and not very crowded

more importantly. Al-X drove us

to The Basin, where at 1:45 when

we arrived, and it was still dumping.

That certainly did'nt stop any of the

beachfront bar-b-que's from raging.

The alleys off of Pali provided

some shelter and better visibility.

But those steep bumps, or ledges

more so, kicked my ass. After a few

runs, the clouds gave way to blues skies.

On the way back, Al-X decided to

ski down Loveland Pass's east side

with Mr.Kody on his tail. I picked

them up down the road, Mr.Kody

was very worked up about the

whole thing.It was an altogether

excellent Easter. I hope that

everyone had a good one too.

I caught up with patroller Pete R. Cottontail

hop turnin'

down the

bunny trail.

Al-X's launching rock.

What the hell?

Dog party.

Is orange an Easter color?

Happy dog.

Today was the 40th day of the season,

41 should come sometime this week

please visit again to check it.

The Al-X Show.

What a bizarre day, after scraping

a half inch of ice off of the car,

we trekked up the the hill into

a frozen fog with the temp at about

26 degrees. The higher we got into

the hills, the more the temp rose,

soon the fog burned away and it

was mostly sunny and 53 degrees

in Summit County. Usually the

opposite occurs, leaving the warm,

sunny city only to reach the colder,

cloudy climes of the mountains.

This was a welcome change. Al-X

and I decided to use the last of

our Copper 4 pass today, as this

will be our last opportunity

to enjoy the mountain while it's

still nearly 100% open, Al-X put

on a bit of an air show today, nearly

200 shots were taken on this Good Friday,

it was hard to choose the best, enjoy.

The New London Expressway.

Dissapating Fog.

(to the tune of Otis Reddings

"Down on the Boardwalk")

Out on the Boardwalk,

down by the trees,

on a blanket of snow baby,
with my phat skis.

Be kind, hug a tree.

It's a bird...

Thanks Mr. Ski Patrol Guy for snapping
this fine group photo of the V.L.A.S.C.
( very late afternoon ski club)

We call this trick, "The Dumper"

There I go again.

It's a plane...

Oh... it's me again.

It's Al-X ...showing off again.

Welcome back to Dreerydom.

It really was exactly as we left the city,
even a bit colder when we returned later
that day. I thought the season might
be done earlier this week, but we managed
to squeak out another good (fri)day.
Thanks Copper for another GREAT season!
We've still got some other places to go
though, so please come back to see.
