Here’s a couple photos from snowboarding this afternoon in the rugged peaks about five minutes drive from Ouray. March is here, and spring seems right around the corner, even though everything is still smothered in fresh snow. The sun is really getting higher in the sky these days, and the foot of fresh snow that fell last night had melted to a crusty 5 or 6 inches by the time we got out there for an afternoon run. Oh well… next powder day I’ll head out in the morning if I can.


Here’s Parker splitboarding up in front of a rugged San Juan backdrop.


The sun was just about to set behind the high mountain ridge across the valley, and I was digging these sunlit trees with a shadowed mountainside backdrop.
