Love Breck, but when I saw the only opening green would be the lower part of Springmeire - hard pass. I need to warm up on that run a bit more before I'm comfortable doing it with half of Colorado on it too. It's right at the limit of my comfort zone /survival mode - certainly not when it is crusty. I'll hit Breck once Dyersville is opened - it's one of my favorite runs on 8 for my skill level - but I'm more of a base 9 skier still (most of the runs off QuickSilver). However, I'm looking to make some big improvements this year.
I heard you say you like your Volkls early in the video, I have a pair of Mantra 102‘s that are the absolute baddest things I have ever put on my feet, I have skied pretty much since 1985 and I think I probably will stick with the Volkl brand going forward. You are completely making me jealous, our season here in Ohio typically doesn’t start until about the week before Christmas, and we go to Breck the third week of January.
😮 I actually see myself right at the 4 second mark, blue jacket w 2 red stripes standing in line toward the left of the screen. Wow! Happy shredding!

Hey, lovely to see skiing again, how were your boots? which ones are you in now, did you get them sorted ready for the season ahead?
A little early to declare victory, but I’m on some Atomic Hawx Magna 105s right now. Just a couple days on snow with them so far and going well!
It was a great opening day- (my first opening day) however yes I was also really cold 🫣!
They are fun! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I’ll be there first week of February. It’ll be my first time in Colorado.
It’ll be so much fun!

I am OBSESSED with Volkl Secrets! I like the 102s better actually but mine delaminated :(
@ that sucks, I hope they covered them for you.
@ they covered one ski, but then the other one also delaminated 🫠
what camera are you filming on? GoPro Hero12?
Mostly GoPro Hero 11!
