Keystone Resort Snow Report 1-6

We were on the zeeeeeeeeee snow at Keystone Resort today riding the 29" base! 

We got up to Keystone later in the day around 5pm. This time of the year is extra busy at the resort so we took night laps. When we were driving over Loveland Pass around 4pm the snow was just starting to fall. Took this shot below off Loveland Pass of the snow creeping in :)

By the time we get to Keystone, light snow was falling and the resort was clearing out. We LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE taking night skiing laps at Keystone when it is snowing. There is something magical about riding under the stars while its dumping powder. It started snowing harder as it got later in the evening and we saw about 1" on the Keystone Snow Camera around 7pm. We took these quick videos below at Keystone, gota love the firework show they put on too. 

Tomorrow am should be soft since, see how much snow we get. We need pow Keystone has only seen 70in of snow TYD this season total. 

Do what you love #C2SFAM ALLDAY!!!

Watch: Big Sur Mud Slide

There was a crazy mudslide on 5/21 in the Big Sur that has shut down part of the Pacific Coast Highway in California. 

It was a huge winter in Cali and it makes sense the land slid this year.

We love the Big Sur area glad everybody was safe.

To show the magnitude of this slide see they reported this was the largest mudslide in California history.

Check this video from a helicopter of the destruction wow. We read the road could be closed for around a year.

Watch: Rare Wild Sheep Run Up Mountainside

We saw this video of rare wild sheep running up a steep mountainside like its no big deal ha. 

Here is more information about the video from the National Geographic site. 

"May 17, 2017 - A rare sighting of a herd of argali was captured in Alxa Right Banner in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Argali are wild mountain sheep and their population has dwindled due to past droughts in the region. They are listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.

Argali can inhabit high-altitude regions like rolling hills, mountains, and canyons and can roam rocky terrain with ease. A vigilant argali will immediately sprint if threatened. They will also take high ground for observation and signal their herd."
