For some reason people like to ride C.P. or RMNP. Still trying to figure that out…

Because as crowded as CP gets on weekends, it is a ghost town compared to Berthoud!

I bet! BP parking lot is a total shit show , from sledders, families, tourists, skiers, Christmas tree hunters, and a couple people who probably shouldnt be there all together.

How does RMNP do this early? I see lots of talus and rock in summer so I think they would need a bit more snow unless you go up high…

CP sounds like a nice escape from BP 😆

I know some two-plankers who have been skiing the Park. They say its been good.

Just pulled into the front range. Staying at a friends in ft collins right now and itching to get back on the split. No place to be and nothing to do but ride. If anyone wants to get after something I’m game. Your snowpack looks like hell but so does everyone else’s so lets ride some low angle trees or something.

Yo, Living Up In Summit, Got Gear and Some Experience Down For Any Adventures Anytime.

Hey everyone. I’m looking for someone or a group of someones to go riding with this week. My usual partners have to work and I’m off from the 13th through the 17th. I’m in evergreen, so anything along the front range, summit county, etc… is good for me. I’m in ok shape and can do 4k in a day, but anything more and I start to really suck wind and complain about my legs being tired. Game for just about anything this week. Looks like we’re getting a pretty awesome refresh this week, so please don’t make me play alone on mini golf terrain!!!

I have splitboard (duh), avy gear and know how to use it (avy 1, but tour with avy 2 going for 3 and talk nothing but snow with that dude), have an axe and am comfortable on steep terrain, only problem is that I just switched to hard boots and don’t have crampons at this point. I have some basic rock gear and harness should anything come up although I’m fairly new to the vertical world and don’t know if I wanna venture there just yet.

i’ll be in denver the weekend of 12/13-14: anyone going out and need another partner? sorry, i’ve got plenty of experience, but not in this area, so would go wherever you chose.

What up everyone!

I just got my first split setup (all I need is skins) and cannot wait to get out there! To say that I am SUPER STOKED would be an understatement.

None of my crew who I usually ride with is interested (at least in shelling out the cash to) in venturing into the BC, so I’d love to meet some folks who are interested. I’m brand new to splitting, but I am in reasonable shape. I plan on spending the remainder of 2014 skinning at resorts to really get in shape and nail down my skinning technique in time for the peak BC season to start. I reside in Denver (Five Points), so I-70ish is most convenient, but I am definitely down to go wherever.

I haven’t booked my Level I course yet, but I am targeting the Vail (Apex is the company I think?) backcountry course on 16-18 January if anyone else is thinking about getting certified. Holler if so!

Anywho, just wanted to say what up and possibly meet up with some folks for some touring a little later this season. Cheers to the snow gods for a good season!

I am new here as well.. not new to snowboaring, not really new to BC either (snowboard snowshoer), but new to splitting. In descent shape, have necessary Avy gear. more interested in powder than super steep stuff at this point. Have some various avy class experience through many years, but not AIRE 1 yet (hopefully this December). Looking for safety minded partners to hike with and carpool from west side of town (Lakewood)

sorry: west side of Denver (actually in Lakewood)

doing the AIARE 1 in December..
