Driving over Loveland Pass to Arapahoe Basin
This is my favorite drive in the whole wide world...I always wanted to record it, and finally did. This is for everyone that can't make it to the best state in the US. :-)
Exit 261 from I-70 in Colorado, passing Loveland Basin Ski Area near the exit, and then driving over Loveland Pass to go ski Arapahoe Basin.
There is tons of backcountry skiing all over the pass. You'll see hitchhikers in the video.
Hope you enjoy this drive as much as I do!

Colorado snowboard season officially started October 13 for 2017/2018 and conditions were actually pretty solid, all things considered. Arapahoe Basin opened with a wide primarily artificial snowpack that reached from tree line to tree line along their main slope. By the following Wednesday they had already opened another run and I was able to get out to ride and film with some friends. There are some fun groomers and a small pre-season park with 5 features. All in all it was a really fun day with friends, and I even got to fly the drone a little in the morning before it all went down. Let us know where you are going to be snowboarding this season down in the commends below, thanks for watching!
