The Colonel and I are making the rounds out here.  Today we had a great and uncrowded day at Arapahoe Basin.  This is supposed to be a busy time for spring breakers in CO, but you wouldn't know it at A-Basin.  We got a super close parking spot, skied on all lift rides.  We used the mid-mtn lodge for lunch and rest room breaks, very convenient and half empty.  

The Colonel heading down Lenawee Face.

Three ski areas in one shot, standing near summit of A-Basin, Keystone in near left background, Breck in far left background.  

Heading down Montezuma Bowl on the "backside" of the mtn.

I made several laps on the Pali Chair, best snow on the mtn there.  This is looking up East Avenue.
