Share and Voice: Spring Break in Colorado 2007

What I liked about this trip was the fact that Loveland Ski Resort doesn't groom their snow very much, if at all. What grooming the snow means is when a machine similar to a snowplow goes up the mountain and levels off all the snow so it is more evened out. I hate this because then you don't get to glide along fresh snow that may be 12 inches think. You really have to fight through the snow to move from side to side. It is the most wonderful feeling I have ever experienced. The snow on the first day was fresh (12inches). The air was as smooth to my lungs as you could imagine. And it was bright and fresh outside without any disgusting overcast of smog.



Because of this ski trip I really want to keep the natural world as clean as possible. It makes me mad to think that we always try and groom nature to look better, when in reality if we leave it alone it can be just as flourshing as beautiful.








My favorite picture from the entire trip, it was taken at about 12,000 feet of elevation by yours truly.

It feels as if it is untouched land that I am the first to explore. I know it is a tourist resort, but the way they leave it so untouched and open exilerates me. Makes me really appriciate how vast and big our world is.

  1. Kevin,
    Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures, reminds me of my time in Switzerland. Sounds like a fun trip. Playing hockey I haven't gotten to do much skiing. I do enjoy the great outdoors when I get a chance.
