Putzing around the neighborhood

It's good to wake up in the morning and not go to work. Just grab the gear, drive around a little and do a ski. Some days solo, some days with friends. Have some fun. Get a feel for the snow. Various spots around A Basin, Loveland Pass, Mosquito Gulch and undisclosed location #4753. :D

The Bros are grateful for the chance to get out and play. Let me say thanks again right now to all the maggots that made my nx21s and bros a reality. :yourock:

That's just the entrance mountain - as far as I could drive my truck. There's a ton of terrain back there. I don't want to post pics of it. Just go.

Ron and BZ, that was several different days in different places over the past week or so.

If you're not hiking, it's time.

nice miriam, I am glad you got to use your new camera on some skiing. We should meet up sometime before all this snow turns to solid ice.

Did you see where I went last weekend yet? It was a great day! This weekend will hopefully be pretty good still.

Nice Mir. London Mt. has some great lines on it. Could you drive all the way to where the road forks?

Thank you. They're showing me a good time so far. :)

f8f, how do you know my name? Have we met?

cmsummit, nope not yet. Mosquito Gulch is just coming into prime time this month. Man, I have spent a lot of days there in the past. It was cool to go back. I did my first little solo back there. http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...morning+outing

I think it's just the perfect place for solitude, terrain, and learning the backcountry. Go to Alma and take county road 10 to get to the goods. :cool:

This morning I drove up Buckskin Gulch and I got stopped by snow in the road before the windy cutoff. I walked so freaking far to go and ski - like miles. When I'm out by myself, I'm just afraid to get my truck stuck. Hey, that rhymed.

You're just too tired from yard work! :D Sorry I forgot to say about the wood, but I wouldn't use any treated lumber on foodstuffs. Stick with cedar.

Pretty close to done other than light maintenance anyway….and too late on the treated…mmmmm arsenic :)

Nice shots, looks like your are figuring out the camera just fine. Glad to see the teaching and kids didn't make you go crazy.

How was the snowpack holding up with these warm temps? Was it firming up or pretty sloppy?

There was only a light coating of ice on the water on the roadway at treeline, so there was not a hard frost last night. East aspect was past ready to ski at 10:00 am. I was able to punch all the way down with my pole through rotty snow near rocks. I skied E/SE on steep open terrain at the bottom of Democrat and had some fun - didn't sink in at all but I could feel some moisture suction on the bottom of my skis.

We're heading into a storm cycle though, right?

I enjoyed the season, but when Keystone closed I had no energy left to teach at A Basin. It's my turn now. Hopefully heading out your way this spring.

yeah, they usually stop plowing just past the mining building on your left. Usually it's snowed in for a few hundred yards after that, but then the road is clear again for a long ways(~1mi.) due to all the wind.

I need to get up in there and ski Buckskin.

Glad you had fun.

Exactly! That's just where I parked. And I had to walk so far on level dry ground. Somebody needs to dig that out. :D
