Popular Post Barb Posted March 19, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted March 19, 2019 Went back to the Snodgrass TH to do a snowshoe and tire out my pup before I went skiing. The usually have a classic xc ski track in pace but didn’t this time. There was a semi flat/groomed (but choppy section and I figured the Nordic skiers would want to use that. I didn’t want to put my snowshoe tracks in it so I stayed to the side. Only did about 3 miles but my legs were tired walking through the deep stuff. Hopped on the shuttle and was at the mountain at 9:40 (late for me). Town was socked in fog this morning but the mountain was clear, as was the hiking area. Red Lady lift looked crowded and I skated by and had no line at the Silver Queen. Lift stopped 3 times that ride. It had been down for several days a week or so ago. Think Vail is probably going to have to upgrade it. Headed straight down to Paradise Bowl. Looked gorgeous in the sunshine. Stayed mainly on Paradise, then headed over to the Umbrella bar for a huge glass of water and did some runs over by the Gold Link lift. Left at noon, legs were getting tired. While I was gone the snow guys worked their magic and I now have a parking spot again. Saw lots of dump trucks in town full of snow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 11 Quote
Barb Posted March 20, 2019 Author Report Posted March 20, 2019 Ended up doing another snowshoe hike last night with my builder, his wife and their dog. Area we went to called Cement Creek. There are 16 cabins back there accessible only in summer unless you snowshoe in. The plan for today was to hike the morning, then ski the afternoon. I checked out a place called Hartman Rocks in Gunnison I have been wanting to go to for a while. Did not see one other person. It is a very popular mountain biking and climbing area in summer. Got a call from home that my mother had a fall. Just waiting for my sheets to dry then heading home, bummed. Supposed to snow here tomorrow. Hopefully get back here in June.
