Overview

You can get many laps in here with some great open tree skiing.

Need to Know

You'll want to take a sharp left turn at the bottom to get back to the road where you've crossed from the other side, or you'll just have a bit bigger of hike to re-ascend.

Description

On a powder day, this is a really fun run to hit. It's not a big ski descent, but for a very short approach, you get some fantastic skiing.

History & Background

Berthoud has a very rich history, see Friends of Berthoud Pass: berthoudpass.org/resources/…

Making my way down what I refer to as Gaffney's ramp (since it comes in under Gaffney's Playground) You can see someone's bomb hole from someone hucking Gaffneys previously.
