Sean and I arose to -8 temps in Boulder but persevered anyway to find Bright Sun and Funky Conditions but tons of Future Skiing Potential at Berthoud Pass.

Chainsaw fights her way thru the gale to Old Monarch Pass yesterday. Great escape to points south, deep powder and solitude. Chainsaw is about 1/4 mile from the Monarch ski area in this shot yet we only saw 1 other person during this ski tour and got to break trail most of the way...fun!

I interrupt this Dashfest for an important announcement. These are mine all mine! Let the games begin!
