Daybreak. The view at my hotel in Pagosa Springs. Always feels odd to head out for a day of snowplay in the pouring rain. Springtime.

Check out the height of the drift. I'm 6 foot, top of the board is 8 foot. This drift was on a saddle above the pass.

Top of the mountain. This is after 2hrs or so of climbing. Wind well over 40mph so I'm hunkered down behind a tree.

My tracks again. Pictures do not convey the steepness. Easily a double diamond.

What it looks like at the end of the run. 2hrs up the mountain. 13minutes of snowboarding (I timed it) down the other side. Then 3 hours to climb back up. At 1300ft of verticle it's longer than any run at Wolf Creek and the sweetest of powder the whol
