Yesterday morning Claudia and I woke bright and early for a day of skiing/snowboarding at Powderhorn Mountain above Grand Junction. The drive from Ridgway took us up over the top of Grand Mesa, where the aspens were beautifully frosted by a recent snowstorm and frigid temps. Despite my rabid eagerness to get on the slopes asap, I just had to pull over at one point and snap some pics of the frosted aspens backlit in the early morning sun. Glorious!
