Spring Keystone

AUTHOR:

Spring resort riding in Colorado is fun with the right conditions. Too much mashed potatoes, though, and the snow quickly becomes trash. This day was not one of those days, it was stellar in fact!

We drove up to Keystone that morning for a leisurely day of spring snowboarding. The ski patrol were handing out sunscreen to everyone and roses to the ladies! I happily accepted a rose and rode around with it in my mouth and hair the remainder of the afternoon.

I felt so fashionable and chic riding downhill with a rose in my mouth! Plus the sunscreen kept us from getting burnt on the warm bluebird day.

After some runs we capped the day with grilling in the parking lot before making the dreaded drive back to Dener.
