Whiteout at Breck - Gnarly Conditions Ensue

Day 2 at Breck. We woke up with snow and wind. It became obvious that the peaks were completely whited-out and we knew we'd be in for some fun.

We spent a good portion of the morning way out on Peak 10 in some amazing trees. Literally acres and acres of sick tree skiing with unbelievable snow cover.

I went party hard after some lunch and headed straight for the summit. Unless you knew there was a mountain up there, you would have had no idea. 0 visibility. 30 mph winds. Blowing snow. I got to the top of the summit - and couldn't even see my hand. Ski patrol was locking down the higher summit was closed.

We all meet up later on doing sick runs down Chair 6. Amazing powder and everyone left the mountain because the wind and whiteout got so intense. Good times had by all.
