Had plans to ski a couple peaks in the San Juans last weekend. Addimen and Bones Got Broke were in. weather and avy conditions prevented us from completing the plan, but we did get some really good turns in down a few chutes on Red Mtn Pass. Heres the pics:

After:

Next day things cleared up and we went for a couple more lines

Day 3 the sun came out:

(we skied this one at night, so no pictures...)

Great work, sick turns and great pics. I heard about the dust storm rolling in and turning everything orange, I was waiting to see some pics from a buddy and now I know what they meant when they said everything turned RED! Crazy. Keep up the TRs znd great pics!!

Thanks hft and adimmen for three awesome days. I hope you guys come back soon.

The photos below were take ~2hrs after the ones above. The red tint comes from a wicked dust storm that blew in with the fresh snow. It's eerie riding red snow to say the least.

Red room???

I wish CO wasn't so flat. :lol:

hft hatin' life........ :wink:

YUUUUMMMMM

nice to see some deep pow shots

I like that red snow. Reminds me of a red tide . And surfing in a red tide is pretty trippy too

Great TR

What brought on the dust storm? I've never seen snow look like that before - pretty rad and makes for some cool shots.

Awesome! Looks freakin' great HFT. I see you were sporting the helmet cam. Any footy from that thing?

Its not great, but first attempt. Im a little dissapointed in the field of view, im gonna try it on the top of the helmet next time.

(video ends at 6:30 or so, I need to chop off the extra dead time)

I'd say it's a decent first try. I'm sure you'll get better at it.

Man... you guys still rocking powder??!!
Nice TR!

Here we changed to corn season, but still hoping for another good storm to get a few last pow turns in.

The storms are lining up and knocking them down as of late. We got almost no snow in the month of March and now April has roared. Berthoud Pass got around 20" Fri-Sun last weekend. Winterpark is reporting another 5" over night today, and another spring storm is hitting this weekend. I will say that the strength of each successive storm seems to be getting weaker, but I'll take it.
