I again drove from Colorado springs to Breckenridge for a day of skiing on Friday after some work meetings out there. Beautiful day a little crunchy In spots but found some powder piled up in a few spots. I climbed to top of peak 8 and went over the face for first time, which was very cool, after I caught my breath from the climb up!
here is shot of the sun setting as I drove across the mountains
here are a couple from top of peak 8
Here are a couple from when I was just trying to pick my way back from peak 6 to peak 7/8 and just had to stop and take it all in it was so beautiful!
My favorite run of the day was off peak 6. It was as far as you could go to the edge of the resort. Run area is called breathless. At the bottom half was a powder bump run that had me whooping! It was so much fun kicking up powder over my head!
Bumps, you and I were there on the same day! What time did you climb above the Imperial lift. I was up there about 1130am and did the big chute to lookers left, Zoot Chute? Beautiful day. I was able to poach a hot tub from a friend from epicski and had a bison burger in town. One of my best days yet in CO. I was at Vail today and conditions were not as good, but less crowded than Breck. I did the Minturn Mile today, but it was in rough shape. Still, I got bragging rights:-)
Jim that's amazing. It was right around 1130 when I climbed up. There was a single guy who was about half way up when I started and a larger group that came up behind me. I was up there a few minutes, actually took a phone call for work before I dropped in. I dropped into imperial bowl right off the peak.
The only pic I took that had someone less stuff in it was this one.
and this was me
If you zoom in on googles you can see reflection of some other people. Maybe one of them was you. :)
Bumps, here is a bunch of photos from Friday the 13th at Breck:

JIm, I think I saw the guy in blue coat and army bag. I was picking my way back from peak 6 and ran into out of bounds He was just in front of me and we both had to turn around and find anther path.
