A Quick Trip to Winter Park, Colorado
Driving over Berthoud Pass to drop into Winter Park, Colorado.
I snowshoed into an area north of Fraser and scrambled up onto a rock outcropping and got this view across the valley of Winter Park Resort.
Bushwacking along a ridge through the woods. The snow was collapsing as I snowshoed, not a good day to be on open exposed slopes.
Getting ready to drop through the trees.
Back at the car after a good day in the mountains.
A small avalanche off the side of the road on the drive out of the mountains.

A Northern Ontario Avalanche
The video is a bit long, but at about 5:12 they have some footage from the rider that got buried.
It all turned out good, could have been bad.
Crazy!!
