February: Great Friends and Great skiing

I spent February all over the state of Colorado, skiing everywhere from Silverton to Steamboat and nearly everywhere in between. I after skiing in some of the deepest snow of my life at the beginning of the month in Vail, I went down to Silverton CO with the ski team to get after some bigger lines. We spent the weekend down there hiking and skiing, and enjoying the exciting night life. On the second day of our trip we took a shot at a big line (1,500 vertical ft of skiing). After setting a boot pack 2000 ft up the mountain we got to the top, and the view alone was well worth it.

The next week was spent with family in Steamboat. Many laughs were had and some pretty good skiing to. Its always good to get out and skiing with my family and have my dad try and show me a few things.

Then it was off to Aspen to coach the ski team in the Colorado Freeride Championships. With strong winds (80mph) and blowing snow on Friday and Saturday we went through 1 & 1/2 weather days before anyone skied. But all the blowing snow made for some great pillows in the trees at Snowmass.

Overall it was a great month and I can only hope that March grants us with more snow and maybe a few days of sun.

Here is an edit from the month. Enjoy
