So as you can imagine, the thought of skiing some of the steepest, expert, in bounds (sort of) terrain in Colorado scared me, b...

Check out more photos from the weekend on my website! Camping: Variety of camping on Slate River Rd. - primitive and uniformed (Oh Be Joyful) campgrounds. The road goes back about 15 miles up to Paradise Divide, where it starts to swerve back down toward Gothic with camping the whole way just ...
