Conditions: Michigan conditions: man-made and icy
Location: Breckenridge, CO
By day three, we’d hit all three Summit County Resorts. To our surprise, the typically wind-blown and icy Breckenridge had the best grooming and the best snow around. The groom was almost chewy and very soft. We had some great runs until the crods showed up. Pretty soon, there were hundreds of people weaving through the runs: everyone from falling-leaf beginners to racer-x bombers. It became pretty dangerous and we decided to call it.
Highlight:
- The killer groom – who knew!?
Lowlight:
- There was prodigious, poachable terrain under every chair we rode. We would have done it; really, we would have. But we were afraid that Big Brother would track our Peaks Pass and blacklist us.
Après Ski:
We walked the streets of Breck and did some shopping before going home and relaxing for a while. By day three, we were pretty sore. Well, at least I was.
Dirk tried on the pink version of a black jacket he already ordered via backcountry.com
Days to go: 47

It looks like the conditions in CO are identical to the conditions in UT. The groomers are dangerous with all the knuckleheads out there!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you guys were able to get some turns in though.
P.S. - I can't believe '80s hot pink is coming back into style.
