A mighty fine day from the start.
Near here in Colorado, we have an alpine road that’s closed all winter and usually opens around now, providing amazing access to high altitude spring ski touring. Independence Pass. This past weekend included a Saturday storm day, (which incidentally was when folks were planning an informal party, subsequently rescheduled to next weekend). The weather dropped a few inches of new on nicely frozen substrate. Sunday was the day. My old friend Art Burrows came along and shot some pics, and Lisa did some photos as well. Check it out.
Lisa and I had last seen this gal when she was knee high to a grasshopper, now she’s all growed up and ripping.

Hardly a tree in sight, I like it that way. Though trees are nice as well.
Friends we intersected near the top.

Gee, Lou we sent you some pictures of a tour here in the southern Sangres. Are we not worthy?

Great day indeed, good to see you and your team!
Looks wonderful!
Lou great pics and as I recover from hip surgery over in Vail this week, I’m envious of you and all of the folks enjoying the great late season snow. It seems like this May and into June will be a special one, talked about for years as I see lines that haven’t looked this good, this late in years! As always thanks to you, your friends and family for the articles and pics!
looks awesome!
