Independence Pass Ski Outlook
For those of you still jonesing to ski, Indpendence Pass certainly offers some of the most accessible backcountry terrain in the state. We were up there on our bikes yesterday and this is what we found (click photos to enlarge):
Notice the BIG wet slab slide.
If you want to beat the crowds, get on your bike and get up there before Thursday. Or, you can call Sari and see if she’ll give you a ride in the Chariot. Or, embrace the party and join Lou Dawson up on the pass for his annual Memorial Day BBQ.

Surfs Up.
Summer seems to have finally graced us with her presence here in Carbondale with some long-awaited warm temps. The local rivers are up and most are predicting peak flows sometime this week. That’s good news for the US Freestyle Kayaking Team Trials, which start in less than two weeks at the Glenwood Whitewater Park. As flows on the Colorado River climb north of 15k CFS, the wave keeps getting better and better and it should make for an awesome event on May 30-31.
We’re starting to see more and more out-of-state license plates in the Park’s lot as boaters from around the country are putting in lots of training hours on the wave (and showing up old, washed up boaters like me with their new school Phonics Monkeys and Donkey Flips…kids these days). Thankfully, I can watch the wave in real time here (scroll to bottom of page), just to make sure there aren’t too many young punks out there to make me look bad. The time lapse feature is super cool.
One other unexpected phenomenon on the Glenwood Wave…board surfers. It’s been awesome to watch the number of surfers on long boards, short boards and even SUP’s out on the wave…often they outnumber the kayakers. Check out this sweet video of Ken Hoeve, aka Hobie, surfing the wave on his long board (Hobie can more than hold his own in a kayak and on a SUP too).
