Keystone

This past weekend Rene and I headed up to Keystone to finally do some snowboarding. This was our first trip to the mountains to ride as 'locals' and we were pretty excited about making the trip.

Nat's parents were in town and were heading to Keystone also, so they swung by the house at about 7am on Sat. morning and we headed up convoy-style. Nat has figured out that the best way to get there is up Clear Creek Canyon (hwy 6) in lieu of taking the highly congested I-70. It's a 2-lane, curvy-durvy road, but the views are amazing.

See the sign? Curvy-durvy indeed

Getting closer....

After worming our way through Clear Creek Canyon we got to Loveland Pass which had been closed to traffic just a couple days prior. As you can see, the roads still weren't in the best of shape.

When we got there we hopped out and geared up for a day of riding...

Looking forward to next time....
