Droppn' Into Mank & Fluff 11Jan14

Daryle, Jim and I caught the storm in Summit and Eagle Counties this weekend. I did Breck on Fri with nice new snow but super-cold and wind... none of the top (Imperial, T-Bar, 6, etc.) was open that day. Then it flipped to a bluebird day like spring for the whole team at Beaver Ck. DublD and I passed Vail when all parking lots were full and a zoo of animals had escaped... we met Jim on the mountain at Beaver Ck and skied all day. Kind of thick and manky with the warmth and relatively lower elevation but still the right choice for Sat... a really fun day. Daryle and I dropped into some great fluff two feet deep at Keystone in the Trap on Sun AM and had a number of other fine runs off Outback. Wind and cooler temps swept in at noon and chased us home for the Bronco's game... but we took 50 mins through Dillon due to I70 eastbound clog - it's vital to stay left on Rt 6 as you depart Keystone for Silverthorne. We may suffer 15% additional daily radiation doses in CO but it's worth it.
