April sledding on Rabbit Ears

The last week of March dumped four feet of snow in the mountains while
I sat at my desk and watched snow reports. So after some back and
forth we decided to make another sledding trip to Rabbit Ears.

The Saturday forecast was near 80 in Denver so we knew it would be
warm but had no idea how warm. When we started it was 45 degrees and
by mid day it was 55. The snow started hard but quickly turned to
slush and was a lot of fun.

We explored several new areas including the north side of Steamboat
ski area. We also had several good stucks. Ted almost lost his sled
in a 15' deep blowhole but luckily we got it out without it dropping
into the water below.

It's been a great year. I wonder if there will be any May sledding...
