Shin Bang on Day 2

We woke to bluebird skies and 3 or so inches of fresh snow. Spent the day at the resort checking out more of the extreme terrain. For my first run I hooked up with a guy from Colorado Springs and we hiked out into Teocalli Bowl for some fresh tracks. He turned out to be from VT originally but has been out here for the last 20 years. I don't think anyone is actually from Colorado, they just move here from the Northeast. We basically ripped all morning until I met up with Kim at the base [narrator change] Hi, it's Kim, I've taken over for Benn because he is tired, and understandably so. I got up today and took Gibson to the Poop Loop for a while, where we met some lady from Tennessee and her dog, Hurley, although I thought she said his name was Hurl at first and called him that for a while. She probably thought I was a loon. Then the G man and I went home and rested up for a bit. Went up to the slopes around 11:45 and met Benn. Of course my first run was the Headwall. No such thing as starting small or anything. Then we went on to to the North Face and a couple other things I probably shouldn't have skiied, but don't tell the baby. I had a ball. Went back at 3 and am currently digesting a New York-sized burrito. This place rules.

(Ok - Benn again) This first shot is the view from our driveway and also the living room.














This is at the top of the Headwall - a sustained 50 degree pitch that rolls out of sight from the top.














And finally Gibson at play on the outskirts of town with Red Lady Bowl in the background (a backcountry ski descent I'll be doing soon).
