Last week I was lucky enough to go to Powderhorn, the day after the skies opened up and dumped 10 inches of white fluffy stuff. It was great boarding, especially in the trees where it was deep enough to be sweet powder, but not so deep that it was hard to get going after falling. Here's the view from one of the lifts. Aspens Powderhorn is not on a mountain like most ski resorts, it's on the side of a big mesa. View of the Side of the Mesa I am a tree hugger when I snowboard and there were lots of good trees to board through.

The sky was clear and snow was good all the way until the lifts stopped, which made for great views and sweet boarding.
