In honor of the major winter storm in Colorado, I decided to post some pictures from our trip to Copper in 2006 with Xavier. My dad and his snow scooter covered in some fresh powder.
I-70 between Silverthorne and Copper. Copper has received over 2 feet of snow in the past 3 days and are continuing to get hit with hard snow throughout the weekend. My cousin John called yesterday right before he was headed to Keystone to make some fresh tracks in all the powder!!
The Dinner Sleigh Ride that John directs, what a great meal they had cooked up for us!!
John and I about to head for the tree runs, our favorite adventures!!
The lift line at High Point lift, on the east side of Copper, which is naturally divided nicely with a lot of green runs over here, a lot of blue toward the middle by the American Eagle and Flyer, and more black runs toward the west near the high-speed 6 person Super Bee lift.
At the base of the American Eagle with the Super Pipe.
Xavier and I riding the Rendezvous lift at the top of the moutain.
The amazing and breathtaking view from the top of Rendezvous, and what feels like the top of the world. The only view better than this at Copper in my opinion is from the top of Tucker moutain by the Copper Bowl, where many huge cornices are waiting!!
Dad carving down the moutain.
One of my favorite pictures, at the top of the Rendezvous lift looking back toward the Copper Bowl, which is to the right of this picture. John and I once decided to hike Tucker Mountain after riding down Copper Bowl. We had to wait in line for a snow cat as there are no lifts up Tucker. Then we hiked for 1 hour over 3 mountain peeks at around 12,000 feet elevation. The powder was amazing but the hike was sure a workout!! I sure wish I was in Colorado right now to make some fresh tracks in all the sweet powder that continues to pound the slopes. Maybe at Spring Break!!
