Ski de randonnée à Boulder County, United States par David Kennedy le 3 mai 2026

Distance : 15 km

Dénivelé positif : 2012 m

Durée : 5h 32m

Description

Don’t let Davide Giardini convince you this was “all time” 😂. Pros: 4th of July gate was surprisingly open and this line is super aesthetic on a notable peak. Cons: basically anything that wasn’t bowling ball sized refrozen wet slab debris was horrible punch crust or rocks. Line not at all continuous. Always a great day out with Michael and Davide, but the spring ski season may be fading after all. Would’ve been really bummed to bike the road for this haha comically bad skiing. Beautiful zone and line tho
