[Snowboarding] It's that time of year . . .

[Tylar]

isn't there a place on St. Mary's that has year round snow?

Yeah, you can usually sled down the glacier. Dunno how it goes on a board though.

I found a reasonable cure for the itch lately . . . Shaun White Snowboarding on the Wii.

you can always go up to Breck drive up the jeep trail off of Peak 9 and ride down the 4th of July bowl. they have about 5 or 6 rails set-up.

warning, you need a jeep or a vehicle with a lot of clearance.

Loveland starts blowing snow in 15 days.

if you're really jonesing to ride. Go to Breck, take the jeep trail up to Peak 9 (right by the Mercury Superchairlift) and hike and ride the 4th of July bowl. They have 5 or 6 rails set-up.

Yeah, saw that on their site. I feel spoiled enough to have pretty good odds to get in a day or two before Halloween.

I don't have a vehicle that I'd want to run on that Jeep trail.

Have you ever done the 4th of July bowl?

I was in Red Feather last weekend and they were hitting 30s. Not quite below freezing yet. This thread is making me antsy.
