Every year my brother and I go on a trip to one or more great ski resorts. This year we hit Ski Cooper (cool little place), Wolf Creek (huge amount of snow this year), Silverton (one lift, expert only terrain, avalanche gear mandatory, and a guide is required this time of year), then Crested Butte. Our timing for Silverton was perfect. ~10-12 inches of fresh snow, blue sky, and endless bowls of powder.
