This week we are a little more in tune with the season. It is winter here in Colorado, and I present you with one of my favorite winter images.
I used to work at Copper Mountain Resort in Colorado when I was fresh out of college. I worked there for two seasons. The first was all about quantity of skiing – I registered 75 days. The second season was more about quality – I only notched 55. But most were powder days of some sort.
The fun thing about working at a ski resort is that you learn it so well. I can still find untracked powder up to about 2pm on a powder day at Copper. Sometimes you have to work to get it, but it is so worth it when you do. Union Meadows, where this was shot, is not one of those places. Just traverse to the skiers left from the top of S lift and you will find this treasure trove of narrow, powder filled runs.
And after you have carved up some powder, order this print to remind you of what awaits you the next time you hit the slopes.
