heres
a view of the mountain in breckenridge. the top-right area of the pic
is called 'lake chutes'..probably the most extreme in-bounds skiing in
summit county
a
trail from the house leads you to this hill, which takes you down into
town and the base of the mountain. i heard that the scene from 'christmas
vacation' when chevy chase greases up his sled and goes taking off 100
mph was filmed here. this hill is a serious bitch to climb at 2am when
you missed the last bus out of town.
my
roomate josh and michelle gearing up before getting down the hill. you'll
usually find fresh tracks going down and some obstacles so you have to
be a little cautious..cause you dont want to bail in front of all the
onlookers sledding below.
a
nice view from the bottom of the hill
downtown
breck..mostly packed with little tourist shops, art galleries, cafes,
resturants, and bars. the food is a little overpriced but you cannot beat
the happy hour specials at the bars.
custy
infested main st.
parade
in town
onto
the mountain...
breck
is no vail but still has plenty of good bowl skiing
here's
a pic from Arapahoe
Basin..not a good mountain for beginners. my roomate kind of freaked
me out when he told me that a skiier died here just last year in an avalanche
while skiing INBOUNDS!!
