Just got back from my trip, finally had time to post the pictures. Enjoy guys!

Interstate 70 on the way into the mountains.

Loveland Pass, yep thats right, no gaurdrail. hehe

Walking into town at Keystone. My favorite pic, I think it just looks cool.

Approaching Breckenridge, this is only part of the resort.

The view from the end of my cousins driveway.

One of the houses in their neighborhood. Man I wouldn't mind living there at all.

The view of Fort Collins, Colorado from the top of Horsetooth.

The resevoir that serves Fort Collins.

Beautiful sunset.

We got $23 Denver Nuggets tickets. It was my first NBA game ever and it was a blast. It was the first game Carmelo played after his suspension, and Carmelo and Iverson's first game together.

Big horn sheep! Right on the shoulder of Interstate 70!

The view from the top of Copper Mountain.

Cutting through the woods at Copper, stopped to take a picture.

Flawless halfpipe at Copper Mountain.

The village at Vail at night. I didn't see any movies stars... haha

Just a random picture of the mountains on my way to Winter Park.

The view from the top of Vasquez Cirque at Winter Park. 12,060 ft.

Black diamond at Winter Park on the front face of Vasquez Cirque. This was my favorite run there, it was called Sky Pilot. Down the moguls and right into the trees for some killer tree runs.

Into the trees we go for some fresh powder.

I love this picture, looks like it could be a desktop background. Still at Winter Park...

Thats me trying to navigate a trail through the woods.

Looks like I found a way out!

Looking back on the Timberline lift heading to the top of Vasquez Cirque at Winter Park.

Another woods trail at Winter Park. Perfect.

This is part of the terrain park at Winter Park. I had so much fun going c-rail to c-rail in this section. Only problem was if you fall off the left of the rail, you kinda fall down a little cliff and slide into the woods. But I guess that adds to the thrill of the rail...

At the Continental Divide. That would be me on the right, my friend in the middle, and my dad on the left.

View of a valley at Rocky Mountain National Park.

ELK!

Say bye bye to Colorado...

awesome pics! Beautiful scenery. I can't believe the big horn sheep on the side of the road. They are supposed to be elusive and shy to humans.

Well I have never been skiing anywhere outside of WNY before this trip. Never been to places in Vermont like Killington. But let me tell ya, these mountains in Colorado were badass. I don't see how anything can compare. Tomorrow I go skiing with my school ski club at a local resort close to town and I am not gonna like it at all. It doesn't compare at all to the Rockies. 3000+ ft. vertical rise in Colorado and 700 ft. vertical rise back here at the so called "mountains" around my house. I guess I'll be skiing on a hill tomorrow.

As for the big horn sheep, we were shocked to see them on the shoulder, especially on an interstate! My dad was telling me to keep looking up in the rocks for the sheep and I might see one, then not even 20 miles later we got that picture of them on the shoulder. Pretty cool stuff.

Thanks again for all the comments

I drove from Denver to Southern CA a few years ago with my friend who was relocating (he started on the east coast but i flew into Denver to finish the trip). Anyway, outside of Denver I did get a quick glimpse of a big horn sheep but this one was way up on the side of the hill straight up from the highway on a rock. I just happened to look at the right spot at the right time. And I thought that was amazing.
