BaconStrip East on the Solstice
At the risk of inciting the ire of powder-deprived west coast BaconStrippers, here’s how we spent the Solstice in the Front Range. Cameron Pass has been a lucrative source of powder this year. It wasn’t at its best on the Solstice (kind of a flexie proto-crust), but it was eminently skiable once... »
