Cool shot of the basin. I skied there quite a bit when I was going to C.U. in Boulder. The place has probably the best, steepest, most direct 1700+ vertical anywhere. The "Alleys" come to mind and the East wall. And it definately doesn't suck that its base tops out at 10,750 feet. Serious snow preservation and incredible scenery.

Fixedgrip, just a little information.
I drug Severine out to Abasin for Mothers Day weekend last May.
It was like taking a tiny bird out of her nest, and well worth the trip.
This is the TR
Sev, we have to do it again. Bring Brian if you want, so I can shove him off the cornice

I should have saved the images instead of using the live link from the web cam. The current conditions look melty compared to when I started this thread.

Here are the saved images from now, to preserve some snow stoke content.
Mid Mt Lodge

Top of the world!
