I took issue with this statement from Lou-

“And that fact would have been no mystery to these guys if they had anywhere near the level of collective experience they are said to have had.”

I noticed a BIG slide up on the south end of Peak 6 today as I was driving into work this morning. It ran well below the point where most slides stop up there. Most likely a natural that occurred...

Unrelated, but I noticed a BIG slide up on the south end of Peak 6 today as I was driving into work this morning. It ran well below the point where most slides stop up there. Most likely a natural...

Safe zones and only exposing one person at a time. I'm a little confused by the group decision on 50' spacing underneath a slope like that. If one of the group's goal is to minimize exposure...

Judging from the photos it looks like their safe zone, was really close to be truly safe, but not quite there. Damn.

CAIC's final report is up:

A-Basin was deep and shit show free today. Nothing like last Tuesday. Less than 1/3 of a maze full on Pali all morning, minus the initial line-up. Couldn't have ordered it up any better. :biggrin:

I was telling a buddy back in late January that I wouldn't be surprised at all if we rebounded back to 90% of average statewide snowpack by the end of April. Oh yeah.

Pretty awesome graphic right here. Well, at least for the central and northern mountains.

:biggrin:

Yeah, 6" or so at my place in Breck. I would imagine at least 8" up on the hill, probably closer to 10". Not sure what the official snow total is, but it's gotta be close to 40" since Saturday...

And 'Zuma lift was closed due to wind while I was there, which didn't help the lift lines on Pali. Good, but busy. And this dust sucks!

:smile:

Breck was really nice today, Pk 7 was deep, smooth turns. Another 8"+ will be awesome..........and then they close. :(

Nice POV beater! :wink:

What a hell of a trip. I wanna go back.....

Found some great mid-winter quality snow up high at Breck yesterday- Whale's, George's, Magic, Boundary Chutes.....nobody on the mountain either.

Great condition with about 30 days on them. $275 + ship?

I reserve the right to sell locally, to friends or established mags, etc......

SOLD

I ordered a pair, not sure if I'll need them or not. I'll pass the deal along if I don't end up using them.

The buddy passes I have loaded onto my season pass are $78ish. If you want one, let me know. My office is a two minute walk to the gondola.

Relish and Briar Rose are two of my favorites and fit your criteria.

"Are those skis good for jumping?"

Yeah, Breck was fantastic today. Got to the base of Peak 8 right at 8:30 thinking that I'd have an hour or so to get the goods before the crowds showed up and was COMPLETELY thrown off by 6 Chair,...

3" or so in town in Breck, so 6" up high on the hill could be legit. Guess we'll see. Should be nice and crowded today.

Just started snowing in Breck. C'mon.......:smile:

Yeah, I stuck to E Chair terrain this afternoon. Took one lap up the T-bar and it was insanely WHITE. Nice.

Just a heads up, but new A-Lottas are going for $490 on the Fat-ypus site. I think your TGR price point is closer to $300 - $350.

It's gonna be breezy up high today as well. You should still be able to find some mid-winter type snow on favorable aspects up high tomorrow. These temps are nothing new. I'd be more shocked if we...

It froze at my place last night (9,700'). Ice everywhere this morning.

Monarch was amazing today, but fairly crowded. Blue skies when we pulled in at 8:15am, then it started dumping around noon and was still coming down hard when we left around 3pm. Mirkwood turns...

Yeah, not sure how this storm will pan out, but the last few storms on NW flow have treated Breck pretty well. I'm thinking either Monarch or Vail tomorrow.

You must not pay attention. NW flow has been good to Breck.

I don't understand how you can trigger that remotely on a kick turn near the ridge and not see it. Not from where the speculated trigger point was. I can understand being above it, triggering it...

Nice looking skin track though. :wink:

He/she must've triggered the slide from above on their way up and didn't realize it until they skied down onto the crown. At that point, I feel their best option was to ski the bed surface. Might...

Yep, created a new thread in SZ. Deleted my post with photos from here. Let's move any future conversation, debate, bullshit over to there.

Back to the weather!

WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!

Peak 1 on Tuesday:

Holy shit, that was scary. Glad you're okay, man.

Whale's Tail was holding great snow. Peak 7 snow was also pretty good, once you get out there. Getting out there is a kind of a pain as the high traverse out to CJs and the top of Y requires...

26/26.5 Garmont Axon shells (297mm) with about 35 days on them. Good condition and fully functional. Photos shows Titan liners in them, but I'm keeping the liners. $75 + ship.
...

Makes me a little sad to see A-Basin get the shaft though (assuming based on the 3" report).

DEEP. Much deeper than 10" everywhere I skied today (Cucumber, Lulus, Humbug, Contest) since I skied areas that were loaded, lap after lap. I'd say the 10" report was very legit for most of the...

How's that move working out for ya? Looks like a Flood Watch posted for most of VT today.

Not particularly similiar, but I have 182 Moment PB&J. Drilled twice for a 308bsl Sally, once at reco and once at -2cm. They have just been stone ground for the first time and two core shots...

Silverton yesterday...

I can only laugh at the brilliance in that statement.

Fat-ypus D-Sender.

Spent this weekend between Pagosa and Wolf Creek with some buddies. Skied a half day afternoon on Saturday and the snow was filling in tracks on every lap by the time we left. Knew yesterday would...

Too many rules.

The only problem I see is that you're assuming the butthurt will end in 2013. :wink:

Conditions at Breck today: All Time Low.

Here's the Widespread Panic version to commemorate this joyous occurrence:

I heard that the rain and warm temps that New England received last weekend was EPIC.......
