"We're There"

So I flew into Colorado. I've been there before, and although its always a fun time there, I wouldn't always call Colorado the most productive place. Be that as is it may, Pat Lynch picked me up at DIA, and we headed to Breckenridge. Greg Hahn & Brendan Hayes made the 14 hour trek from Mammoth to join us.

We met up with our buddy and Sims superstar James Frederick and drove to Red Mountain. If you have never been to Ouray, CO it looks like you just drove through Colorado wasteland and ended up in Europe. The town was crazy.. apparently has the worlds best ice climbing or something too.

Well we headed out and built a few jumps the first day.

Its like a playground out there.

Red Mountain is sick... except its mostly hiking. Thats fine if you dont have a sled or a sled payment... but I wasn't too jazzed up, but we all managed to snowshoe our way around just fine.

We checked out some really cool zones, and found all these cool mining buildings. It was great to see that so many people had decided to carve their "tags" into the building... things like "420" and "Dave & Katie were here", stuff like that. Forget history and all that.. lets let people know what morons we are. Anyway.. pretty cool buildings.


After miles and miles of hiking we all crashed at the hotel. Luckily Ed Herbold the master photographer arrived to lighten the mood. Ed is the master... and rides just as well as he shoots photos.

I've dreamed about eating at Sonic. I finally made it.

Like a beacon in the sky.

Red Mountain gave us what it had to offer, but the weather wasn't as cooperative. We changed course and went into the trees.

Yard sale.

This zone was amazing. Tons of pillows, and the coolest thing i've ever seen up close in the backcountry.. an Elk!

Sleep Tight.

Elk tracks. I tried to get the Elk on film, but he had other plans.

We kept moving on down the line, checking out a ton of pillow and cliff zones. We ended up like 3 miles from the vehicles, and were not hyped on walking all the way back. Out of nowhere this lumberjack shows up in a huge truck towing a double sled trailer with only one snowmobile on it. We flagged him down, he gave the 6 of us about 10 seconds to hop on and he hauled us back going like 50mph. It was soooo sketchy, Greg was just sitting on the back of the trailer, inches from death.

Regardless we made it back safe and sound.

Colorado treated us well, but we moved on to California. 14 hour drive... yikes.
