gracin the basin

Jacq & Gw came over friday night and we watched silly entertainment shows and hit the hay around 10.30. The next morning, GW swung by at 5.30 and we headed to the hills, stopping off in Golden to pick up Kelley. We were making good time until we were halfway over Loveland pass and C-Dot blocked off the road with a plow forcing us to turn around due to severe white out conditions. So we had to go the long way through the tunnel and into to Dillon to get to A-Basin, which derailed us for about an hour. The conditions were fantastic despite the windchill factor at the summit. Some of the best powder caches of the day were over around Standard and International. While waiting in line for the Pali, we saw this guy rocking chrome skis, cargo pants, and the jacket pictured below. Unfortunately the new Montezuma Bowl was closed due to poor visibility and wind, but according to reports it still needed some more snow anyway. Got back in town around 3 and was completely wiped out. Stephanie made a killer dinner then we watched 300. Sunday was chill, ran some errands in the AM, then GW came over and we watched the NFL playoff games the rest of the day. Go Pats!
