Beautiful Berthoud

The skiing was just that good ...

A couple of days after going up to Berthoud Pass in Colorado with my folks ... I trailed a friend and his buddies back to the same area ... it was a crew of rowdy tele skiers who like big lines ... and I was challenged to keep up ... in a good way ... we skied from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. without much break ... but with a whole lot of smiles!

We carved turns into two big bowls (that I would only drop into in the most stable of conditions), did a good bit of ski schwhaking (short for bush whacking) through a dense forest and finished off the day on The Knuckle ... knarly looking chutes that sluffed when we ski cut the top ... quite the day!
