Review season is in full swing, and we’ve been pretty busy for the last couple of weeks, but made time today to get out for some snowshoeing in Rabbit Ears Pass to pick out a Christmas tree.

Opening day may have been a few days ago, but today was the first day for upper-mountain access, with the Gondola providing access to more than 130 acres. It was another gorgeous blue sky day in the boat, and while we’re definitely hurting for snow, there are some great turns to be made.
Steamboat Snow | Day 19 of 30 Days on the Road
After what seemed like endless summer weather, winter rolled in towards the end of the week and Saturday, November 14th was a full on winter wonderland day. It snowed intermittently throughout the day, and the snow crystals hung in the air.
First Day On Snow 11/1 | Day 6 of 30 Days on the Road
November 1st, 2009 – Finally, a day on snow! I hit up Loveland with Steamboat friends Dylan, Carly, Doug, and Shay from shayboarder.com. The sky was a deep blue, the sun was out, and the snow was pretty fun. Loveland had two lifts running and a couple of “white ribbons of death” to...

After the first full night of sleep in a week, it was time to hit the road and get to the mountains; the snowboard jones was killing me. The drive from Boulder to Steamboat is about 3 hours in good weather, and it was great weather. Blue skies and warm sun highlighted the windblown remnants of the Wednesday/Thursday...

After the three part blog for Day 3, Day 4 is a breeze. After a quick breakfast at the hotel I caught a shuttle to the airport with a couple of other bloggers. Unlike the travel to Philly, flights were on time, and we actually landed in Denver a little early. The DIA to Boulder bus is super easy, although...
Gore Tour: Day 3 of 30 Days on the Road – Part 3
Part 3 is the final part of the Gore Tour section of Day 3 of 30 Days on the Road. About time, as I need to catch up on everything that been going on since then.
I found the Q&A section extremely helpful in forming an overall picture of Gore. This was some of the “big picture” time,...
Gore Tour: Day 3 of 30 Days on the Road – Part 2
From the durability testing room full of washing machines we continued on to what was my favorite part of the tour: the “comfort lab” and the “rain room.”
30 Days on the Road
“30 Days on the Road” is a blog series tracking my travel for thirty days in October and November; from leaving Alaska on October 27th until Steamboat opens on November 25th. Due to a series of cool opportunities I don’t have to be back at a “real job” until 11/26th, and...

Day 3 of 30 Days on the Road was my second day for Gore, and it was a huge day. There will definitely be some follow-up posts coming out of this trip, but I’ll do my best at capturing the day in Day 3 (which I’ve split into two parts). This was a really cool trip, and I learned a lot; hopefully...
