Backyard, Buena Vista & South Park

We spent our Valentine's Day avoiding lift lines and doing some sight seeing. After a short trek around our backyard, we drove out to Buena Vista, which definitely lives up to its name. It sits under huge mountain ranges and the Arkansas River cuts right through it, so it was a good place to take photos and appreciate Madre Nature. After exploring Buena Vista, we headed to South Park to prove to everyone that it is an actual town in Colorado, and not much different than the cartoon. There's one main street with small shops and a few houses, and most likely a confused tranny elementary school teacher floating around somewhere. Part of the town is fenced off because it's being preserved as a historical site dating back to the 1800s. We contemplated jumping the fence to get some good shots but figured it's a small western town that probably enjoys its 2nd amendment rights..so we bailed.

As far as riding goes, it's been insane but we haven't gotten a big snow storm yet..so I'm still waiting on that knee-deep powder day. Regardless, it's way better than anything I've ridden on the Iced Coast. We've hit up Vail and Copper already, and will either be going back to Copper tomorrow or Breckenridge. Stay tuned for more..
