edpaffjr.comSnowboarding in June? Yes it is possible, and that’s what Kim and some friends did on Saturday afternoon. Arapahoe Basin is by far the longest open ski area around. In fact they just closed for the season yesterday. Since I was having some ankle problems, I sat this one out and spent most of my time hanging out at the base taking pictures. Kim also got some shots from up on the mountain where people were attempting to skim across a small pond on their skis and snowboards. It was a gorgeous day in the mountains.
Taking full advantage of the weather, later in the day we headed to the Green Mountain Reservoir to camp with a group of twenty or thirty others. We spent the afternoon and evening cooking up food, hanging around campfires, playing glow in the dark bocce, and having a great time with lots of new friends. As it gets very cold at night, I think Kim and I are going to have to invest in some better camping equipment soon. Otherwise, we all had a great time and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Pictures from our weekend can be found in this photo gallery.
really beautiful pictures ed! looks like alot of fun was had by all… is your ankle bothering you because you started playing hockey again?
I sort of twisted it again while playing hockey this past Thursday. It was a minor twist though, so I’m back to stretching and strengthening. I will probably tape it the next time I play.
