Hello all -- I am georgio's mother. As many of you know he was the first avalanche fatality last season (2013-14). Just wanting to help to reduce the avalanche fatalities here in Colorado so no one...

Just took me 4+ hours to get from Winter Park to Denver. And there were two lanes open when I went through. $100 million dollars and 6 months of nightmare traffic to make traffic worse!?

Dear rocket scientists: SE Russell is also avalanche terrain ;)

Little first hand recap from this afternoon...

Doesn't look terrible.

All bets are off after this wind today in terms of what the snow surface will be like. But a few friends and I toured up to the top of Russell and skied around Current Creek at Berthoud on Tuesday. ...

Tuesday also:

I think this is right on. A shift in the mindset about what time of year is "ski season" is completely necessary especially if "global warming" continues to materialize. Resorts blow a fuckload of...

Maybe a little late ... But this footage was from yesterday AM... I'd say there are some things worth getting on right now.

I've got skis and bindings I can do real cheap. Any specs on what you're looking for? I'll throw in some things that at one point could have been called skins but YMMV on those guys.

Even more so the hard toe is important WITH crampons. I have the driver-x and even with a crampon on the boot folds in half at the toe if your climbing anything remotely steep. Which means the pons...

Let me know if you're game for a tele bindings + some cash trade for the pants.

Check eBay, same jacket for under $400. That might be a good price point to start at.

Last week's might not have been ... but this weeks will be!

But I'm trying to get a jump on the skier compaction front...

Down again. Different problem this time. Shit.

Without knowing much of anything about this company, what stage it's at, or what market it's in... These would be my suggestions. (Credentials: co-founded a startup 4 years ago and have been involved...

Presumably the potential upside of keeping you around (a shit load more sales) would be what would entice them to keep you around...

I mentioned this in the CO weather thread but may be worth mentioning here too. The snow from this last storm bonded VERY poorly with the old snow. Set off a scary soft slab in Flora Creek yesterday,...

Be careful out there this weekend dudes. Near Berthoud this most recent snow did not bond well to the older snow AT ALL. That coupled with 50+ mph winds made for some pretty ferocious wind loading....

Similar conditions up high near Berthoud. And I too got hit in the face with some snow from my turns as well. Not sure if I'd call it a face shot more like getting a bunch of small wet snowballs...

It ain't over 'til it's over ...

... and it certainly ain't over.

Today was great. The snow cover up high is...

Net 7 inches as of 9pm at Berthoud according to the SNOTEL, probably close to a foot of total accumulation minus melting. A little over an inch of liquid so far. And it didn't start coming down hard...

Let me chime in with my thoughts on course length. I think the level 1 length is fine. It works for the "cube monkeys" and at least in the course I took they tried to make it very clear that this is...

Give it a couple weeks and we'll be %1,000,000 of last years snowpack. ;)

No you can't. Just dont want to see anyone else get their heart broken like I do... EVERY SINGLE TIME ;)

That same forecast had been saying 6-10 inches for A-basin Monday night that was then downgraded to 1-2 and then upgraded back to 2-4. I'll believe the 10-14 mark when that's still forecast on...

Who's up there today. I'm heading up in an hour but my other friends bailed. Black pants. Orange jacket. 4FRNT VCTS. Have change.

Still available? I'd like to head up for the afternoon. Mix things up one last time before its strictly a-basin season.

Looking for a roommate for my place in Winter Park, CO for the summer (and winter if you want to stay). Hoping to find someone more stoked about biking/skiing than my last few roommates... Who for...

I know this isn't the most on topic post ever ... but I'm looking for a roommate for my place in Winter Park, CO for the summer (and winter if you want to stay). Hoping to find someone more stoked...

Any chance they extend their season at all beyond this weekend? Anyone know?

Back up. So whatever it was is fixed.

PM sent. But not expecting to hear back until next week.

Throw in a cylinder and you got yourself a deal. Otherwise... ^^^^ this

Not saying the pass pricing isn't relevant. That's good info. Just thought their disclaimer was funny given the simplification of the pass options this year.

Sounds like they did away with all...

May have been relevant in past years but not any more and seems funny as the first item of pass fine print "One Pass per Person per Season." If you insist...

I was hoping it was as simple as that plugin crashing stuff because that would be easy for someone to uninstall but if you look at http://tetonat.com/wp-admin/ it looks like it's a site wide database...

Even good editing can't save bad footage...

Yes. But the site is an amazing resource and I had heard the plan was to keep it up.

My guess is something expired or some software was updated at the hosting provider that would take some type...

The pass is SO GOOD right now. I implore you to forget what ever you were going to do tomorrow and go ski.

Earlier I had speculated that an airbag likely wouldn't have made the difference in this situation, and that may still be the case, but after reading this
...

Sorry my response was kinda snarky as well. There has been a lot of armchair QB'ing going on recently, but mostly not in this thread. Everyone gets on edge when people from our community (extended or...

The reading comprehension and ability to verify statements before you make them around here never ceases to amaze me... The Prof is SE facing, SE aspect is considerable today and has been for the...

Just talked to a patroller who was about to head up the hike to North Pole and they said if we don't get too much snow/wind overnight the East Wall should open early/mid morning tomorrow.

Also 2 sets of tracks down The Prof. Fucking bold line considering the current events if you ask me... But looked oh so sweet.

A basin still skiing well... East wall likely not opening today. But my guess would be that they get it open pretty quick tomorrow. The best news is that its stayed cloudy so it's still skiing like...

Ski cut something early season this year and away it went. Left me standing at the top on more or less bare ground. Wasn't big, 20 feet wide, 12 inches deep, slid for maybe 100 feet but definitely...

On this day it really didn't matter which zone it was in, the forecasts for the two zones were very similar. Just trying to illustrate a point. But yeah, north/east of the divide is in clear creek...

It's a combination. I've spoken about this before but the area CAIC forecasts for in the "Front Range" zone (which is where this area falls) is fucking massive and has hugely variable snowpack. What...

It looks like the starting zone for the slide was in the low 30s and the majority of the slide path was under 25 degrees. Easy to see how that wouldn't feel like super intimidating terrain from a...

I'm not an old timer per say but I remember a bad one about 10 years ago. Don't know if it made it all the way up to the park but the RFV snowpack was completely destroyed way worse than it is right...
