Anyway, thought I would post this up. Scored one of the best backcountry days I've ever had this past Saturday in Rocky Mountain National Park about an hour north of Boulder. I've done plenty of touring back there but never had a day where everything was about as perfect as it gets. It was clear, sunny, and the wind decided to take the day off. Left the trailhead at 730am and got back by noon after climbing about 2,500 vert before skiing into a steep 1,700-ft couloir. Snow was blower up high and super creamy in the apron with a little sun crust on top.
