We stuck with conservative timber lines during a monster Colorado storm. The woods were skiing as continuous (or better) than a pow day at the resort. Check it out, from the Dawson and Caudill clans feudin’ for pow. Heard those guys lived over the mountain, went pow huntin’ over there, got chased off by Jasonius and his rock salt shooter ’till we found enough for everyone.

Access is the key. Louie photo.
Louie, shot with my new Lumix DMC-ZS50. Most settings are working, having trouble with manual focus so I reverted back to autofocus for this shot. Click images to enlarge.

Sleds keep it real, sometimes a little too real.
