Eldora, Colorado

Sunday, December 26, 2021

After diverting from Loveland due to traffic on 70, got to Eldora around 10:30 and freeskied for about 2 hours on the Enforcers. Not quite as windy as it would be on the divide, and quite a bit warmer. Snowing, temps in the 20s, with sun poking through occasionally.

Still not much terrain open, and yellow jackets really keeping an eye on speed on a lot of trails. Snow was pretty good - relatively soft, fairly grippy.

Skied a bunch of laps on Jolly Jug, where the final runout that crosses beneath the lift was really good, a couple on Hornblower/Windmill, which were alright, but a decent amount of traffic, and one trip over to Indian Peaks, which would have been pretty good, but with rolling terrain and a lot of people, a bit sketchy to really go for it.

Overall, though, felt pretty good about my skiing. Starting to get forward and big angles early.
