The end of winter

It's almost over... The big ski resorts have started to close for the season, the temperatures in the mountains barely dip below freezing.
It has been an awesome first full season in CO with Gobi the truck.  Lots of quality powder days, and  a few spring days too. I'm learning to appreciate the small stashes that might wait around until the weekend, and early morning dashes to the mountains.
Not that I need another pair of skis, but some tight turning slalom boards for those resort days when the backcountry isn't tempting are next to join the family (this season saw some amazing Voile Vector  BC fish scale skis for accessing El Refugio, my cabin project, and a new-to-me-but-well-used pair of aptly named heavily rockered super fat super playful Roxy Mumbo Jumbos).
