Backcountry Skiing Beállítások

[beneathftr]

This has not been a good start to winter so far but I have an itch to get out and ride. Its been a few weeks since I've been out because I went backcountry skiing on Loveland pass a few weeks ago and really messed up my snowboard on a few rocks (About $120 fix).

Has anyone been up on Berthoud Pass recently?
What about the Loveland pass area? Herman Gulch?
Any other recommendations on places to ride with a good snowpack?

Thanks for the info.

I went up to Berthoud Pass on Sunday and skied the west side of the pass. The conditions were pretty good in areas but it's still low tide up there. You don't have to hike up far to get some good snow; especially in the trees immediately west of the parking lot.

Things are really supposed to start to change later this week and in the coming weeks. If everything goes as planned, there will be 2-4 inches of snow on Thursday (12/14) and heavy snow on Saturday (12/16) with 10-12 inches including locally higher amounts. We will be seeing constantly cold temperatures with measurable snow going into next week too.

Forecast for one of the peaks on Berthoud Pass is listed below:

Later this week Avy danger is going to increase, so be careful out there.
