Yes! Skiing is fun!

But…what a winter. Freaking no snow (I heard Tahoe got zero inches in the month of December, we had similar totals here in CO, we had a 6 week dry spell), best backcountry skiers ever getting killed in avalanches (Jamie Pierre, Steve Romeo, randosteve really broke my heart, I’ve been reading [Link: tetonat.com…] for years, and now dude’s gone), I found myself traveling way too much for Da Pow this season. Though it was expensive, I skied a lot of areas that I had never skied before this winter (Little Cottonwood Canyon, Taos, a little area called Powderhorn outside of Grand Junction, CO) … AND I skied Steamboat on Feb. 21, after they got 43 inches in two days! My buddy filmed this on the 20th:

So, yeah, snow sucked, but I also had some of the best powder days. Weird, huh?

Nice video. I had to give up back country skiing when my buddies got married and had kids. It’s not a safe hobby to go alone and I can’t afford lift tickets for resort areas. Maybe next year.
