In Breck?

You have Breckenridge Brewery in Breck, then you have Backcountry Brewery in Frisco, and Dillon Dam Brew Pub in Dillon.

Be sure to hit Tommyknocker in Idaho Springs on your way back down I-70. Breckenridge Brewery is solid, but Tommyknocker is superior to anything in Summit County.

Sounds great, I think we are going to hit up Erik's on Fri. night. We have a house right off Hwy. 9 on Fairfeild, the bus stop is right in the back yard, which is great cause I don't have to wait on everyone else to get up to get a ride to the slopes.

Went to A-Basin yesterday, I LOVE that place, the variations of terrain, the learning center (to teach my girl how to ride) the vibe, the bartender that makes the best bloody mary's ever, just everything. I had the best run I've taken so far there, it was one of those runs that I feel marked a significant jump in my riding. For the first time I didn't really think about what I was doing and just let it rip and everything just flowed down the hill.

Anyway, having a great time out here, hitting up Vail Pass in a few hours. For all of you that read this and don't have snow....all I got for ya is a few crappy phone pics from Keystone on Tues.

The slope about 2pm


Riding the gondola


The resort around 4pm


Me waiting for the bus

I just got back from the best trip I've had so far. I'll post a full report after I sort through the pics and vids from everyones camera. In terms of progression I've fond my perfect training grounds for where I want to go with my riding. I've got video of my first ever powder rides from Vail pass on Thurs. should be good for a few laughs ;)

No I didn't get around to it, but since I'm bored and don't have any appointments until after 5pm I'll type one out and post what pics I have.

It was the best trip to Co. to date, it snowed a lot while we were out there. I got my first little taste of backcountry snowmobiling and boarding. Some pics from Vail pass















I never did get some of the pics and vids from my now ex girlfriend we broke up shortly after getting back. I wish we could have spent more time on Vail pass, but the polaris over heated and blew a cylinder :( I spent most of the trip at A-basin, I fell in love with the place. The crowds that time of year were light, and tons of snow. Hiked my first bowl, and ripped it. My last day at the basin there was a semi(diesel tanker) wreck on the pass above the parking lot, the driver made it but was hurt pretty bad from what I could find out. That closed the pass down from about 10am til close so the place was deserted.

The house we stayed at was pretty nice, not off the hook like the year before, but still nice. With 6 of us splitting the bill it ran 75 a night, much better then a motel. Plus cooking your own meals saves some bucks. The weather couldn't have been better, it flipped from blue bird to dumping off and on the whole week.
