Winter is here!!! (well at least for some of us)

Went to the continental divide last Wednesday. It was snowing pretty good.

Snow was definitely piling up. Not very deep tough.

Last Friday was opening day for Arapahoe Basin ski resort. We decided not to go b/c the place was PACKED. So we went to go hike Loveland Pass to find a good line.

Didn't take many pics. The ones you see here don't show the snow on the other side of the ridge. My buddy and I ran into KNEE DEEP POW!! There was a guy making laps on this sweet line but it was too far to hike. We managed to find some freshies and had at least a 30 sec run. For the first day of the season it was fucking magical.

I like snow, when I see it on TV. More than 30 seconds of it in real life and it loses its charm for me, but those are some sweet pics man!

You obviously haven't had the experiences on the snow that we have. A fat bowl and some waist deep pow thats heaven.

I assume you live in cali head up to tahoe or big bear some time. Give it a shot just dress properly and none of your body will feel cold.

Ok, I'm officially jealous of people that live close to the mountains. Snow sports aren't a good thing for a poor boy from the gulf coast to get into....

I guess it's a good thing I don't live closer to ski country. I'd do nothing else.

Pretty much all I do during the winter. When the snow melts I go hiking.

Nothing compares to smoking a bowl outside enjoying all that nature has to offer.

Trying to break 130 days this year.

You suck.

Just kidding. That was the green eyed monster talking. I agree with you about smoking in nature. There's nothing more relaxing.
