| Sundance Mountain from the car drop-off point. You can see about 1/3 of the skiable snow in this view. We skied down the left line looking up. (Click directly on the pic to advance). |
Bruno hiking from the starting point on Trail Ridge Road in the latest in French hi-tech footwear. |
Go around the rocks at the end of the path, and ... snow! Many people who we passed said "there is no snow here!" Heh. |

| "Le Poacher". Bruno begins the increasing slope down to Fall River Road. Hey! That's MY line! |
Red and white suncups sometimes the size of moguls made for some fine skiing. The view was fine too, if you are into scenery. |
And gradually, it gets steeper ... |
|
|
|
| ... and steeper ... |
... and steepest. Bruno stops some cars. The Nebraska farmers driving by thought we were nuts. Well ... |
This is me finishing one of our runs. This is at the very bottom of the left snow field visible in the first picture. (Bruno pics from here on) |

| The walk out is downhill through some scratchy bushes and branches that are skilled at grabbing your skis. |
This is what happens when you let Bruno lead you back to the road. (I recommend against it.) |
The stream was very manageable. A log bridge was just downstream that we used when we were not lost. (Did I mention Bruno was leading?). ... A GREAT day! |
