Tree Skiing at The Beavers and Steep Gullies at Arapahoe Basin - Helen Olsson 

The Saturday before last, I went to bed at 8:30 p.m. I mean lights out, sawing wood at 8:30. In fact, I’d crawled under the covers at 7:30 p.m., half an hour before prime time. This is something I don’t believe I’ve done since I was like 10. Here’s why:

I’d spent the day skiing Arapahoe Basin with my husband, Jeff. We skied nothing but steeps all day in The Beavers and capped our day with what my friend Jilly would later call “zesty vert” in the Steep

Spring is nearly here in Colorado, and you don't have to be on a wild spring break road trip from Texas to get crazy on the slopes (though it certainly helps.)

Tucker Mountain at Copper Mountain - Scott Rappold 

By R. Scott Rappold

The powder was soft, deep and untracked in the back bowls of Copper Mountain. So why wasn't I satisfied?

It was Feb. 25, 2020, and the Summit County resort was experiencing its snowiest February ever, 88 inches (that's more than 7 feet of powder). It had snowed the day before and the flakes were still falling. It's the kind of conditions powder addicts such as myself dream of all year and the reason I drove three hours to get here. 

But even as I enjoyed
