Colorado, Skiing/Snowboarding

Mid Winter in May!

Skiing powder in the San Juan Mountains, Colorado in May

I woke up this morning thinking it was February, with a snowstorm outside! Matt and I went up and skied/splitboarded about a foot of fresh powder.

Snowy trees, Colorado

It’s amazing how wintery it still is up in the mountains, with a full mid-winter snowpack, even at the lower elevations. The spring skiing should be great around here, if spring ever comes.

    I would be glad to switch locales with you! 90′s here and humid…….it is going to be a long summer.

    Unfreakingbelievable, Jack…I’ve been watching the radar all day in the San Juans and I knew it was dumping. Awesome shots! Are these with the GF-1? You worried about getting moisture inside the camera?

    • Jack Brauer says:

      Hey Justin, yes these were taken with the GF1, as all my ski/snowboard shots in the last couple years. I’m not too worried about moisture… I have a little pouch I keep it in, and though the pouch was pretty wet by the end of the day, the camera was fine.
