Then back to Breckenridge for the second week.
The snow report is looking like rather 'Spring' conditions...
That would be the resort-speak version of 'Spring' conditions. I think more people are riding bicycles around Summit County than are skiing.
Well, just arrived in Breck from Aspen. Both had a bad snow season, but I'd say Aspen Snowmass has held up better than Breck.
You're right: there were an impressive number of cyclists out in Frisco, and on the lanes around Breck.
Still, we just had our first day out here, and though there's a surprising amount shut, there's also plenty to do, if you go look for it.
Imperial chair is running, giving access ( with some hiking over rocky outcrops ) to the gated terrain above peak 7 ( Whale's tail, Art's bowle ) and to the Lake Chutes. Imperial Bowl itself is bare.
The gated terrain to the outside of Peak 10 is closed, mostly because the flat trail out is bare.
But The Burn side of peak 10 is still passable, with care, popping out onto barest Upper Lehman I've ever seen.
I've been toying with my new Edge 800 cycle GPS: it fits in a pocket well:
