Heliskiing in Silverton

January 28, 2010
Warning!  Heliskiing is highly addictive.  Do not attempt unless you are ready for some amazing fun!



After over 70" of snow dropped on South Western Colorado, we navigated a 9 1/2 hour drive to Silverton Mountain for some of the most amazing, steep and deep powder skiing you have seen in the lower 48.

Check out some of these pictures...



The (only) lift in Silverton



Deep stuff!

Devo Day 7 - Amazing day

January 28, 2010
Last Saturday was just an amazing day.  Something magically was in the air and it was more than the snow that fell a good part of the day.

We decided to rock the back bowls for most of the day but started with an inspection run and talk in the terrain park.  The plan was to return at the end of the day and hit the jumps and boxes, of course we did.  From there we made a cool fast run in to Caddy's which with it's fresh snow made for a very nice natural half pipe with some occasional powder to ...

DEVO day 5

January 10, 2010
Day 5 was a great day with 7 of 9 team members out on snow today.  Missing was only Jack and Lauren, everyone else was there and shredding the back bowls with a couple of front side runs to warm up.

DEVO day 4

January 8, 2010
Welcome to 2010!

We had a great Jan 2 on snow for the first day of DEVO in 2010.  Whilst a lot of the team were missing, Haley and Jack made it out and we enjoyed some fresh snow, more snow and occasional sunshine.

Our first run after heading up chair 6 and chair 11 took us into Snag park for some soft drops off the rock.  Landings were a little sketchy but the drops looked brilliant.  I am attaching some photos as well.  As you can see, it was still dumping!

The rest of the day was spent moving...

Snowing in Vail - Big flakes!

December 31, 2009
It's snowing big time outside and has been doing so for most of the day and a lot of last night!  Hope some of you are up here to enjoy the powder.

I have been busy with privates all week and today we were doing powder runs all morning.  Still a bit mixed conditions but this snow is bringing some great fluffy stuff to the mountain!

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.
