A few weeks ago there were photos published online of people skiing on Berthoud Pass. Several days later I went over the pass and there was no more snow. With that being said, when it started dumping on Colorado’s Front Range the other day I began to prepare to go skiing at a moment’s notice. Well, October 29th started with most schools being closed and most everyone in Denver/Boulder deciding it was just too snowy to leave the house. This just made going skiing even easier as we left town. After gathering the gear at Silver Plume’s finest shop, Plume Tunes, we were at the pass. Early season slip ups lead to Greg forgetting his skins. So, we boot packed. It felt great to boot pack. The snow was great and the wind had laid a solid amount of it down. I barely even scratched my skis.
