2014 Keystone RR Bday

I surprised Ricky with a weekday Keystone trip to make some turns for his Birthday. I enjoy a weekday at the resort over a weekend any day.

We had an awesome day riding runs on the backside of the mountain at Keystone. A full on bluebird spring day with minimal crowds made for a stellar outing and resulted in us getting a ton of runs in.

Keystone never disappoints as long as you time it well and avoid the chaos that is the weekend in peak season. These weekday trips and especially night riding are some of my favorite ways to avoid the normal hustle and bustle of the resort.

Great day celebrating an awesome human doing what he loves!
