2025 - Summit County, CO

Back to Colorado for first time in a while, in what is being called the friends and family trip. Mark, Zach and Darmen got a couple days at breck, fink/me got half day at a-basin and we all skied together (after pop tarts) for a powder day (6"overnight, 5 more during the day) at copper. Surprise ski hill purchase of the day - a water bottle for $2.83, lost after 2 days.. Good day with powder over moguls, then cooked in. Day 2 at a-basin, was cold. Steep runs and did some shorter hikes in zuma bowl. Good snow. Next day, barely packed up the too small car for 90min drive to Steamboat in -18f temps. Steamboat was best day yet- lots of powder in the trees (they had 15"), some good steeps, and 4 moose. Day 5, still no violence which we attribute to zach/good snow, back up to more untracked snow in the trees off mahogany. Nobody here, amazing. Cooked in at our deluxe almost ski-in condo. Day 6 (a record?) was a half day without zach. Then we left mark at yampa airport as he actually sets out on a month (?) long ski adventure without any specific itinerary. Great trip, great snow throughout.
