There is a reason that summers are more comfortable in Colorado than Texas, and yesterday I found out why. On Tuesday June 28th, a week after the official start of summer and I met a couple of brothers in the parking lot of Loveland Pass, Colorado on U.S. Highway 6. They were ribbing me about taking the kayak that was on the car for a slide in the snow.
Actually I had the same idea as they did, to go do some late season snowboarding. So the group of us hiked the ridge over Loveland Basin and proceeded to snowboard on a day long after most lifts in the area had closed. Someone did mention that A-Basin would be open the following weekend but we just used our own power to take a few laps.
This is definitely the latest day in the year I have ever strapped on the board, what a hoot it turned out to be and in shorts none the less. Just hoping I can store some of the chill from when the slush fell in my boots.
