Colo-RAD-o New Years
January 28, 2009
We headed back to beautiful Breck for another New Years. On the way (kinda) we stopped off in Crested Butte for some backcountry riding. Our hut trip got canned because of avalanche danger, so we opted for day trips which worked out even better cause we didn't have to miss the Chargers cream the Broncos!
For most, it's hard to justify the effort of trekking several hours into the backcountry for 1-2 runs. But for us, well most of us, it was worth it! We got at least knee deep pow the whole way down and the terrain was awesome.
We also got in a few days or resort riding before drinking ourselves ridiculous for the New Years.
I guess this is how you recover after a night of boozing when you have 9 people in a 2 person hotel room and can't get in or out of the door.
