Winter Dew Tour @ Breckenridge


Headed up to Breckenridge with Ally, John, and Lindsey today. They intended to ride, but following my recent accident, I was on foot. Got there around 9-9:30? and headed over to the Breck Connect Gondola. We were forced to park across the road and they wouldn't let us cross! We had to take a shuttle literally 200 yds . . .


It was a beautiful, relatively warm day, clear skies and sun. The tent area at the base offered lots of goodies, freebies, and a chance to play the new White snowboarding game on Wii, pretty neat. Also, I circled the Totino's free pizza roll line at least 8 times, which made for a nice free lunch.


Coincidentally, the Men's Pipe Finals were that afternoon, and it was just a couple hundred yards uphill to the pipe. It wasn't too busy and I got there early, and got a nice spot on the wall about halfway up, just behind a cameraman. I'll post some of the video soon, it was incredible. Danny Davis was dropping bombs.


The lawn chairs by Bergenhoffer offered a nice view of the pipe and chance to soak up some rays. Not a bad way to round out the day.
