to ride or not to ride
i dunno, checking the weather, looks like its outrageously windy up there. I've got monday and friday off next week, so I'll just rock it twice. Maybe I can hit up berthoud pass for the 7-miler

Avalanche? Hell man that just means good snow on the rest of the mountain. Don't go back country and it should be all good, besides if it's an avalanche on a ski mountain just remember point and shoot and keep the nose up if it starts catching up to you.

there used to be a couple lifts on berthoud pass, but they are long since abandoned. Yeah, berthoud pass has some sexy back country and an excelent hitch-hiker charilift. If you hike a little, you can actually ride 7 miles top to bottom, hop in the back of somebodys truck and get in 4 or 5 solid runs per day.
Aside from loveland pass, its the only non-hiking backcountry of any merit in the area.
