Day 5

Conditions: 2 inches of fresh on man made
Location: Keystone, CO

We woke up to some fresh snow blanketing the ground; it was a welcome change from the pavement and dirt we saw over the past few days

Highlights:

- Finding soft snow all day
- Hucking push-piles in the afternoon

Lowlights:

- Crowds, crowds, crowds. It was a game of bumper cars on every slope, and there were plenty of yellow-coated patrollers with whistles telling people to slow down. In general, that didn’t slow most people down. Dirk did have an accident with another snowboarder, who stayed on the ground and was hit again amongst the chaos.

Après Ski:

We watched some football and went out to dinner. We also tried to go to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory. To Dirk’s great disappointment, it was closed.

Days to go: 45
