Backcountry

Again, I find myself apologizing for neglecting this blog.  I have actually been fairly busy the past couple of week with riding, working, and visitors.

Last week a couple of friends from TKE ventured up to the high country.  On their third day we decided to get adventurous and hike the Continental Divide (Loveland Pass) for some serious backcountry riding.  Loveland Pass is strictly backcountry terrain; this is not your resort with chair lifts, ski patrol, and joeys.  Loveland Pass can be accessed by car and long hikes.  Why venture into the backcountry you ask?  To elevate your typical run beyond groomers or moguled out cruisers.  Earning your turns is far more gratifying than taking a chair up to tracked out slopes.  Below are a couple pictures from our adventure.  I would elaborate more but I must run to the slopes for a few afternoon turns.  I passed up 7 inches of freshies this morning because I’m feeling extremely under the weather… a few runs wont hurt.
