Another day in the snow

Vail - Day Four
It snowed and snowed and then snowed some more today. The winds were fairly strong, too, but we prevailed. Unfortunately, they closed the Blue Sky Basin (back bowl area) before we could get on that side of the mountain, but we did some routes we never ran into before.

The snow was getting so deep that at one point Derek whiped out after someone forced him off route and he had troubles finding his skies buried in the snow.

Friday, our last day we plan to give Beavercreek a run for the money. It is located in Avon, CO about 10 miles from Vail.

We're hoping for some blue skies like what we saw on Monday.
