probably the last ski at breckenridge this year

After the biggest storm of the year came AFTER the ski area closed, we decided to hike up Breck for what seems to be the best conditions of the year.

Someone had already set a track and the sun was warm. A perfect spring ski.


Some guys that work in town kept leap frogging us on the way up and took this pic for us.
Mt. Baldy in the background, with a patch of light showing where we normally ski on the other side of the valley when we hike up over there.

Dina enjoying her mountains.

Dina was eyein' up the higher slopes, but we knew we should take it easy and keep rehabing her knee. She blew out her ACL last spring on an EPIC up-to-the-knees day at Breck. She has made a strong recovery and is now beginning to downhill ski. She trained all winter by xc skiing and weight training.

Dina's tracks and her scopin' her next set of turns.

Droppin' a knee. Sweet.

My tracks in the front, and Dina at home on the slopes of Breck.

The edges slice through the soft snow and is thrown over her ankles and legs as pure bliss.


Dina was happy to be on her skis. It was a good day.


Dina rippin' it UP! Yeah Baby!!
