Any talk of dust coming with this storm? Pretty big dust storm just blew through Moab.

The Luv honestly rode better this morning than it did yesterday afternoon. Lift 8 was money. I was afraid it would be baked, but it was damn good.

Yep, The Ridge was not looking good from Lift 4 today. Might be some decent aspects, but everything near the lift looked pretty awful.

8 would've been really good today if it spun, but I'm...

Georgetown hill is like running a gauntlet right now. Pure carnage. And that boat pictured earlier? It's sitting right in the middle of I-70 on the hill. No truck in sight. I guess he just...

I'm through!

CDOT claimed they were checking for snow tires and/or chains for reopenings. Never saw it. Wish they would.

Fuck. Looks like it's already done again. Traffic stopped and I see the emergency lights just past the on ramp at GTown.

Looks like traffic is moving over there. I think they may have just reopened it. Now hopefully I can squeeze through before it inevitably shuts down again.

I don't know if they're gonna reopen this thing today. Sitting here in GTown and it doesn't even look like they're trying. It's been shutdown for almost an hour now.

Yep. Sitting in it too. They just shut it down in Georgetown again. The conditions are bad but manageable with proper equipment.

If it's already shutdown twice before this thing really even gets cranking, I'll definitely take the over. The only thing that might skew the odds is an extended shutdown.

It was coming down hard and heavy here in Evergreen from about 7am to 10am and then just stopped. Looks like the sun is trying to come out now.

Got any links to these models?

I really need to up my weather nerd game.

NOAA seems very doggish on this storm right now.

Wednesday
A slight chance of snow showers before noon, then a chance of rain and snow showers. Some thunder is also possible. Mostly cloudy, with...

Considering what was forecasted, this one was a bust for most areas. Maybe it'll deliver for the San Juans. They're still calling for more for most mountains through today and tonight, but this...

Sure looks like it. NOAA still bullish on the Luv tomorrow and tomorrow night. Monday could be really good, but kinda looking like a bust for the weekend. I was planning on heading up tomorrow,...

LOL! The rush has yet to even begin and I-70 is already down for the count.

I'm always leery when they're forecasting a lot of snow here in the Front Range foothills, but also forecasting decent spillover for the slopes. It seems like every time we get hammered here in...

Pretty sure you'd only be cited under the current laws if you were running on bald tires or the like. IMO, passive enforcement would be the best policy. It would require no additional manpower. ...

That didn't exactly hold true last season. I was up in AK in April and it was terrible. Alyeska had one of their worst seasons ever.

I-70 Twin Tunnels Westbound Project Schedule
March 2014 – Reduce eastbound I-70 to 2 lanes
April 2014 – Eastbound I-70 moves onto detour route and westbound I-70 into eastbound tunnel
April 2014 -...

Makes sense. I've seen bighorns around that area quite often.

Yeah, I knew 9 was gonna be a shit show, so I just made straight for 8. Got several good laps in before everyone else made it over there.

It was so good up until about noon today, but holy fucking crowd. Felt like Breckenridge today. Everything tracked and beat to death by noon and the snow was starting to get heavy so i just called...

Well, I hope it comes strong tonight because today was a bust. We were supposed to get 3-5" during the day today and I'm looking at maybe 1/2". Looks like it's not pushing as far south as...

This storm rolling in tomorrow has really jumped up a notch. Went from a chance of snow for Evergreen tomorrow to expecting 10-20" by Tuesday morning.

Not sure of the point you were trying to make, but you may want to try re-reading the posts that you quoted. Other than the one poster who was mistaken about 8 never running, it looked like fairly...

Yep, 8 definitely spun. It was good, but the wind was unbelievably brutal. Total whiteout at the top. The traverse back over to 4 was a total cluster fuck.

Very good at Loveland today. Crazy cold up high for this late in the year and the wind was howling, but hey, that's Loveland. Near knee deep creaminess everywhere.

I hope Loveland can squeeze out a few more. I'm afraid it might be about done and I'll be up there riding beat up scraps tomorrow. :(

Yep, Joel is back pedaling on Loveland/A-Basin. I hope the storm delivers. I only had one day to ride this weekend and needed the other to get shit done, so I planned to get shit done today and...

Just watching the weather forecast on Channel 4 and they're back pedaling hard. Making me kinda nervous...

The snow isn't really supposed to start in earnest until around dawn for the central mountains. I ain't sweating it... yet.

I'm pretty easy to please right now. Just show me 8"+ on the snow stake at Loveland on Sunday AM and I'll be a happy camper.

I generally use NOAA, CAIC, and Joel's site. Between the three of them, you can usually get a decent idea of what's gonna happen.

Thanks for the report! That's all I needed to hear! Definitely heading up tomorrow. If you see a guy in a yellow plaid jacket on a Charlie Slasher, hit me up.

I can't believe anyone in CO would bitch and moan about the type and/or quality of snow we're getting. Mother fuckers, it's SNOWING! That's something that has occurred rarely in this state these...

*fingers crossed*

Yep, I'm the tool. :rolleyes2

A good percentage of your posts on this forum are just lashing out at others in some weak ass macho attempt to seem like a badass, but somehow the problem lies with...

Berthoud Pass and Vail Pass... the only areas in CO that ever hold snow. FACT according to Blurred.

LOL!

So, you're telling me that there's no snowpack left to melt? Really? "There will be a...

There's still plenty of water up there. We'll still have a runoff, I just expect it to peak sooner, lower, and dissipate earlier than usual.

Winter is over and fire season has officially begun. Big ass fire south of Conifer. Smaller fires popping up all over. Fire season in March. Sigh...

A lot can change between now and then, but it's looking pretty damn grim right now.

I've just resigned myself to the fact that this year is going to be King Suck. After a wam, dry winter, just wait and watch it be unseasonably cool and rainy all summer.

I keep hoping, but Loveland continues to only squeeze and inch or two out of these storms. Maybe tonight into tomorrow will be kinder to the Love. I'll be up there tomorrow to get after whatever I...

I hope the mountains aren't seeing the wind that we are having in the foothills right now. Worst wind ever in Evergreen. Snow blowing everywhere, wrecks all over the place, just awful.

Never been to Eldora personally, but it's gonna be the place to be tomorrow. The local slope is Echo Mountain, but it's pretty much just a park setup. Only 600 vertical feet and $50 for a lift...

The snow is reaching ludicrous depth here in north Evergreen.

LOL! :yourock:

Holy shit, Echo just posted up 26".

I might just have to go up there and buy one of those absurdly overpriced $50 lift tickets.

opensnow.com still down for me :(
