Alaska by Snowshoe

I moved to Colorado from Washington, D.C., five years ago to play in the mountains. My first order of business once here was the purchase of a snowboard. Turned out to be a great decision -you would have been hard-pressed to find me in Denver my first three winters here. Instead, you would have found me flying - or more cases than not, plummeting - down some of the world-class runs at Breckenridge, Vail, Copper or A-Basin.
