Silverton Mountain February 13 and 14 2010

Over presidents Day weekend I went to Silverton Mountain with my friend Sarah and her crew. Unfortunately Jake had to work, but that means I get to go back again with him someday!
The view from the chair lift of the main peak at Silverton. We hiked up this ridge to the bill board on the second peak.
Our first run we hiked almost to the top and dropped in to the right. Fabio our guide is standing on top of the chute we skied - I don't have any pictures because I was too scared to think of taking any! I conquered my fears, skied the chute, and would do it again!


The gang stopped at Red Mountain Pass on the way home from Silverton. It is one of the most beautiful places in Colorado, I can't wait to go back with Jake!

Ripley enjoying the lunch break. He spent most of the time chewing snowballs off of his paws.
We have been working with Kobe on his modeling career. He's going for the tough mountain doggie look in the photo above. And below he's getting in touch with his playful side.

Jake and the dogs approaching our destination. We stuck to the trees today, you can't see it, but straight in front of us is the top side of a pretty big wind-loaded cornice which we choose to avoid.
