Collins Gulch- Halloween Freshies- October 2010
It snowed again, so I was off very early this morning to snowshoe and get some freshies on my snowboard today. Got up there, and surprisingly, not that busy. I loaded up and slapped the snowshoes on and headed up. This is a far steeper climb than the Albion Basin was on Friday. You do about 1200 ft of vert in a bit over 1.5 miles. I took some pics on the way up, and at the mid station and at the top of the Wildcat Lift. It was slightly snowing the whole time I was climbing. As I got to the top, the clouds started to break up, and the sun came out for my ride down. I was solo today, so no pics of riding, just on the snowshoes and locked and loaded for the decent. I really had so much fun today, and the ride to the bottom was great! Freshies till I hit the bottom. It was kind of tracked and lumpy at the very bottom. All in all, I got to snowboard on Halloween this year- trick or treat for me! Hell yes for October snowboarding! Sick!
