Happy Earth Day - Spectacular Spring Conditions @ Breck 22Apr19

I was a bit dubious on Breck claiming to plan to stay open until Memorial Day. But that's a month from now so I headed over with Vail & Keystone closed. The spring conditions are spectacular at Breck and I do believe they can do this thing. I skied the top of the mountains all day on keen sun-drenched corn as I awaited the pending PM storm. I tired by 2:30pm before it ever arrived but the gathering clouds were evident. All my runs were off T-Bar, Kensho and Imperial and into the solid top-of-mtn playland of bowls, knobs and cornices like Whale's Tail, Wonderland, and the like. Awesome. Didn't do any of the hikes due to post-holing discomfort and the fact that plenty was accessible directly. I'm soon off to WY for spring tailwater fishing but I am hoping to grab this again after returning.

 

I stopped at ORB to grab Kala and I some tasty DDH DIPAs on the way home - always a treat to visit and enjoy the Life Above. I have noticed a new thing at ORB - collaborations with other brewers being often available - on this board Stuff and Green Eyes were the best IMO.
