And the Warm Up Begins…

by Rob Coppolillo April 24, 2013

After a crazy April of big snow, reawakening deep-slab instabilities, and the much publicized fatalities up on Loveland and Vail Passes, it looks like our “jan’vril” (as a buddy in La Grave has been calling it) might finally mellow out and go all spring on us.

Finally. Two dismal winters, one fun (but low-precip) trip to Valdez, and this last week I finally got some blowtastic, deep-and-delicious turns, courtesy of the weather gods, Crested Butte Mountain Guides, and my understanding wife, Rebel.
