FRISCO, Colo. — When Summit County, Colorado, local Blake Elrod reflects on his 140 days of skiing since last fall, June 24 is one that stands out. “The coldest day of my season,” Elrod said with a smile. “It was frickin cold, man.” The face shots in summer powder he and Gary Fondl, of Frisco, enjoyed off the 14,265foot summit of Quandary Peak three days after the summer solstice crystallized just how special the 2018-19 season was. “It did not feel like the third day of summer,” Fondl said. “It was full-on midwinter conditions.” From October to June, it was the closest to nonstop powder skiing Elrod, Fondl and their friend Braden Litke have experienced in Summit County.

There were a lot of life-changing powder days for the trio and other Summit County backcountry skiers and snowboarders like them in 2018-19. With about six inches of fresh powder forecast for Summit County’s mountains on Thursday, Oct. 10, skiers like Elrod will mark the beginning of a new ski year. And when you ring in the new year, you celebrate the best of the prior year. Elrod, Fondl and Litke did just that in a conversation Oct. 3. For Fondl — known in the local backcountry community as “The Mayor of Pow Town” — his ski season resets each year with the autumnal equinox, this year on Sept. 23. From last October’s first powder days through Sept. 23, Fondl blew past his previous record of 150 days. Perhaps more impressive, Fondl tacked on more than 100,000 more feet of human-powered skiing this year than in his previous high year.
