I'm an Austrian skier & snowboarder (27) and have skied/boarded all my life. I currently live in Baltimore though and will be in Denver this week. I'm going to rent a car and stay in Silverthorne, CO. I'm looking for a skiing/snowboarding buddy for the following days:

Sunday, 5/16
Monday, 5/17
Tuesday, 5/18
Wednesday morning, 5/19

I'm open to both backcountry or in-bounds skiing (probably A-Basin). I'll be based in Silverthorne, so probably the Loveland Pass are would be an obvious choice to go to, but I'm also open to driving a little further. I have plenty of skiing/snowboarding/ski touring/ski mountaineering experience, but I've never skied in the Rockies, so I'm obviously not a local. Since all my skis are back home in Tyrol/Austria, I'll bring my snowboard around.

I won't be in the summit area but you might want to do Quandry. It is accessible south of Breckenridge on the way over Hoosier Pass. Might still be able to climb and descend the south side but the obvious east route is safe and can super fun corn. We have another storm coming tues/wed so conds continue to be holding strong.

3 of us will be skiing the Silver Coular on the north side of Buffalo on Sunday the 16th. Will start from the trail head out of Silverthorne at 6:30-7:00am. Usually this time of year there are several groups headed up, so you can usually hook up with a group. It's an awesome ski, 3000 vertical feet. I tried to upload a photo of the trail head, but was not able to.

Are you guys going up the Silver Couloir as well, or going up the East face and then ski down the couloir? I only have my "basic" snowboarding equipment in the US, no mountaineering stuff (poles, backpack, snowshoes, beacon). I'll see if I can rent those somewhere.

We would go up the east face by boot packing it. Due to all of the avalanche activity today, our plans may change to something less steep. Send me a personal e-mail at pgiberson@klaa.com with a contact number and I will let you know if we are on or not once we make the decision this evening.

Buy Golf Clubs

Most golf bags can carry up to fifteen golf clubs. A tournament however reduces the number of golf clubs in your golf bag. Another essential point to consider when buying or ordering a golf bag is its weight. This is one of the most essential things to know. ishiner
