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.

Powderhorn is not on a mountain like most ski resorts, it's on the side of a big mesa.

I am a tree hugger when I snowboard and there were lots of good trees to board through.

In the morning the top branches of the aspen trees were coated with snow.

Another interesting thing about Powderhorn is that later in the season their hours are 10-5, rather than the usual 9-4. The sky was clear and snow was good all the way until the lifts stopped, which made for great views and sweet boarding.
