On Top Of The World - Mount Evans

Last week I hiked Mount Evans in Idaho Springs, Colorado.

It is a GREAT hike and I recommend it to anyone.

Even if you aren't a big hiker, there are options where you can drive pretty close to the summit,
so it's really an awesome outing for a lot of people. 

Well, on my hike I came across a herd of friends who were so unafraid, I got to sit in amongst them for a good twenty minutes. It was honestly one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. 

The pictures speak for themselves :)

you can see more photos from my Mount Evans hike HERE

Hope everyone had a great weekend :)

Shot Sharing: Colorado Sunrise

This past weekend I got to visit Colorado

(surprise, surprise)

I snapped these shots on the way to Winter Park Friday morning,

had to share this gorgeous mountain sunrise.

.

I also have to say how much I enjoyed myself at Winter Park.

The snow was absolutely amazing ... PERFECT conditions on Friday

so I decided to take out some demos.

First, I took out the 2012 Rossignol S7s.

I have been resisting the s7 hype, because quite frankly I can't stand to look at them.

The women's version is just ...

"not my cup of tea" to say the least.

Well, fret not if you share my views ... the men's version is exactly like the women's!

Same ski! So I took it out. It handled really well.

Turned well. Floated well. Good all around ski, 

though I still like the 2013 Icelantic Oracle and 2013 4Frnt Aretha better.

I also got to demo 2012 K2 Missdemeanors!

K2 Missdemeanors are in the K2 Park Ski line, but I was so pleasantly surprised at how well they held up all mountain.

I also think the top sheet is gorgeous.

They turned effortlessly and handled in the moguls. 

The floated decently on the powder 

and were extremely stable in crud. I was a big fan. 

(And no, this message isn't sponsored ... I wish haha)

Anyways, while I'm in the park mood,

flash back to xGames ... where everyone is in the park mood :)

A Favorite Shot

Sorry to have been MIA this past week ...

new classes along with preparing to cover the SIA show next week 

have me beyond busy. 

After sorting through last week's Winter Park pics, 

I couldn't help but share a few more :)

Can't wait to be back this weekend :)

Back to School ... or Winter Park

so I had to go back to school in Arizona on the 5th,

but I'm already taking vaca time (oops :)

the day I left, the mountains were pounded with snow,

what was I supposed to do?!

I convinced myself I was here on homework assignment.

my photojournalism class wanted us to capture people doing things.

well what's better than snow-loving people doing snow-loving things?

kid at ski school ... pretty cute stuff huh?

yes, but what's better than people doing things?

animals doing nothing ...

we saw some friends on the drive home :)

amazing day, right?

now who can blame me for ditching Arizona??
