One of Colorado’s most prominent fourteen thousand foot peaks, Mount Sneffels is located in the northern San Juan’s just out side of Ouray.  I have been coming here almost every summer since I was born.  There is something about these mountains that capture you the moment your in their midst.  These peaks give off such a strong positive energy its hard not to love being around and on top of them.  This past month I visited the 14,150 ft summit of Sneffels for the second time making sure to capture the amazing views on the way up and down.

Rider: Wyatt Caldwell, Elliot Levitt, Mark Dangler, Johnny Centi
Location: A.B.A Bonfire – Thompson Pass- Valdez, Alaska.

This weeks Memory Bank photo set is dug up from our last night on Thompson Pass in April 09.  This was a perfect crisp night to wind down our Alaskan experience gathering with everyone in camp around the large bonfire sharing stories, laughing and finishing off the rest of the Alaskan Brew stock.  Great night to end our three week stay in AK.

Summer sure is cooking the heat these days.  Here is a little cool off.  POV on a powy December day last season.  All this takes is a fast five minute hike off the lift at Brighton and you got yourself some goods! Nothing better than fast frontside turns and riding with out the Angry Midget on my back.
