First Day of the Season

Sled above clouds: shot of my sled up high in the alpine near Golden Dec 28, 2009.

The first line we skied. My first run of the season. It was pretty wind and sun effected.

OldMan Couloir: first run of the year for me. It would have been sick before the wind blew. It wasn't that good. Dec 28, 2009

getting ready to drop in.

First Run of the Season: Getting ready to drop in.

Dave spotted some guy that had tomahawked his sled 10-15 times and we went to see if he was ok. It turned out to be Doug Ward who was shuttling his daughter around. Sorry Dougy! I had to!

Doug Ward: post sled tomahawk. Sorry Doug; I had to! Dec 28, 2009

We ended up working this north facing slope. We each skied several line on it. The snow was consistent and felt like velvet. My quads were screaming at the bottom of each run.

Fresh Couloirs: we had fun skiing here on Dec 28, 2009

Dave No Boarded his last run.

Dave Treadway No Boarding: Dave no boarding the last run. Dec 29, 2009

All in all, a pretty sick first day of skiing for the season. Hopefully there will be plenty more.
