Up early but didn't get up. The happy time change (spring forward!) took place today. Left Boulder at 11 for the trail near Gold hill Rd. Love that late winter thing: short sleeves in town with snow on the hills. It was a bit blustery but warmish, 30F, with 3 or 4 inches of fresh snow on top of an old crusty base. Not a soul in site the whole time! Skied up to the Sourdough, a bit further north than usual, and decided to avoid the wind up at treeline by taking the trail north for a couple of miles to the high point before it drops to Brainard Lake Rd. Quick return and nice turns through the woods back to the car.
