Barb Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Headed up to Jones Pass today and arrived about 7:40. My friend and I didn’t carpool since we are not in each other’s immediate bubbles. It was cold at the start but quickly warmed up, sun shining snd no wind. We passed lots of happy smiling faces, everyone just stoked to be out. Skinning up always gives me a reality check on what rotten shape I am in. We just did the road, not the bowl. I put a new setting on my watch for “outdoor sports” not sure why it said I did 10 runs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s at the base on Berthoud Pass on the east side. Took me about an hour 20 min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know there used to be a small ski area in Berthoud pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 ^ yes. Been intimidated to go to Berthoud because it is so busy and not sure what is what. I just got a guide book specifically for the pass that has all the lines, slope angle, avalanche hazard etc. Hopefully a tour there is in my near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Barb when you skin are your ski boots set differently than when you ski or do you have alpine touring boots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 There is a walk mode and a downhill mode. On the uphill I Also have buckles very loose. But I need a boot adjustment. When I tighten them, the highest buckles are way too tight even on the loosest setting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Loveland pass also has some mellow pitches and you can shuttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiincy Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 This is awesome. Jones is great. @Barb- I’ll be in Colorado for about two+ weeks in December at least.
