Dan and Clarice

Clarice and Jon watch Dan Jon Harrington, who has been UpSkiing almost from the beginning of the sport, suggested to his neighbors Dan and Clarice that learning to ride the wind might make for a fun afternoon. A major winter storm was arriving as they UpSkied Loveland Pass on the last day of April.  Great Fun, Dan made so many laps so quickly that he was just a blur in the background of these pictures.  Speaking of Jon, here he is on YouTube.com riding with Dan and Clarice in the video footage and some stills from Tunnel Bowl.

Greg Dietl was on another part of the mountain with buddie Tod, so all in all there were 6 canopies active. Dan and Clarice borrowed Mike and Betsy Cuthbertson’s canopies. The snow softened to the point of being mush but did not have much if any freewater. May has started with another storm cycle so UpSkiing looks good to go until Late June this year.
