dog town & boat boys

Went down to the concrete park yesterday with my camera to hang with Allen and Nate… a few clicks of the shutter and here we go…

In continuation of…

You saw the photos of the winter camping/st mary’s glacier turn session… now onto the video segment.  killer edit allen!

Now some bike related things…

From the looks of the photos on my phone it must be bike season…

This sunset seals the deal that summer is taking over in Steamboat.

The daze looking patchy at best.  Late March 2012.

Another quick edit from mr. allen. 2 runs of footage at steamboat this “spring.”

dawn patrolling sb.

Allen’s been busy this winter messing with his new video camera… most days this season consisted of just messing around on the mellow rolling terrain at Steamboat.  Lots of groomer riding  and getting up early this year, here’s a little taste of one of our  late March surprise ‘pow’ dawn patrol sessions.

the snow at the top of the glacier was a little bullet proof and variable, making a heel-carve indy a little more difficult than one would think – way to hang on al!

Allen and I took off from the boat for a weekend adventure near the front range.  We met up with a buddy from Denver and searched for a site just below Berthoud pass. Although we did not get much snow this winter, there was enough to prevent us from finding any dry ground to set up on. Setting up in the snow has its added challenges but with a couple of shovels and the motivation to keep warm, camp goes up pretty quickly.

The next morning, headed to St. Mary’s glacier to get some slushy spring turns in.  After summiting the glacier and riding the face, Allen and I set up in the sun for some log-jib laps.  Definitely a great weekend with plenty of good times and memories to pass around.
