Berthoud Pass, Second Creek Trail Head November 25, 2007

Today was a great day considering the lack of snowfall we have had this season. My brother in law Wes (Tennessee Tele) and I decided to take a chance and see if there was snow high on the pass. Once we skinned to about 10,500 ft. and left the trees the snow was actually pretty good. We made several good turns that definitely brought a smile to our faces.

We thought about this line first but there were to many boulders in the run out.
