Feel like we had a third set this ski season and it fuckin rocked! Hurt so good from the late season pow slayin :biggrin:

At this point, the sun is trying to peek out of the clouds, just praying for those afternoon pop up showers. Usually I'm easy to find waiting for Gondy One to open, say hello if your there tomorrow...

Just envious your always ripping the quiet and beautiful BC in RMNP :) Always enjoy your pictures/posts, Thanks for/keep sharing!

Yeah, it's sunny and warm here in Vail. Recommending that everyone go to Breckenridge tomorrow AM.

Woohooooo! Fuckin stoked :) so ready for one last shred

Gratzo's predictions were downgraded this AM for the next week. Guess we're stuck praying that we can keep getting light snows, hoping for a just an average drought instead of extreme drought...

And I'll hazard a guess they won't bother keeping BSB or China/Mongolia Bowl open. Don't even think they ran 10 last year...

Came down hard for 3 hours. Looks like it's still snowing lightly on the hill, but the suns poking out in W Vail now. Bummer, might still get out, but was hoping for a better excuse to ditch work...

Seems like CAIC is wildly more optimistic about this storm Wednesday night and Thursday than Gratzo. Any guesses when the best snow at Vail will be over the next week? I'd have to pick Friday night...

This thread could use a lot less whining, but I understand it's been a lean year and we'd all like more powder. When did TGR turn into a control freaks forum? Not sure why so many people have lost...

Unless your going to be in the bc, I'd bring the on-piste sks

Keystone was the VA overnight winner! W T F
Wish I had time to visit monarch, freaking depressing snow report here. Looks like snow started back up, but it's probably too cold for big flakes and...

Who turned on the faucet! Freakin redemption. Legit knee deep in favored spots at Vail 8). Still dumping when I left. Guessing vail's gonna report a pretty big number tomorrow from today's dumpage

Wouldn't be the first or the last time we could see the evil "R" in January. But it's freaking warm out there. Street in front of my house melted out today at 8200'. My freaking heat tape failed...

Skiing is much more fun than so many other things. There is enough snow for a good amount of terrain to be open. I have two little ones and the whole family is sick. I'll be glad to share my germs...

Enso neutral is teh suck

Heat tape is expensive to run and breaks easily. When our heat tape was working, roughly 100 feet worth it was maybe $80 a month in electricity. Best thing I've found is a roof rake. If you...

2" overnight should be a enough to fluff the pillow on rose bowl. Gonna make a rare appearance at the beav this am. Say hello if your also waiting to open the chairlift, I'll be on my 179 Lhasa...

Rofl. Montanaskier has earned interwebz celebrity status!

Enjoyed the stoke! Gives me lots of nostalgia for the 500 inch winter we had here (in Vail) 2010-2011. Nothing like slaying the fluffy fluff.

Enjoyed Freerider, this threads all about Stoke!

Not sure these replies regarding staying further away are considering the challenges of having kids. I'm not in real estate and haven't had to book a room in town since I live here, but $300 a night...

My guess the real reason there's no lodging development at a-basin is that it's just to high up, a little too cold, and a little too windy (it has nothing to do with which re company owns the resort)...

Many of the downsides and evils of VA have been discussed previously in this thread... Of the things that Vail is very good at is getting infrastructure built, it is part of real estate development....

I purchased an ariens 725le used. I'm no gear head and can barely work on gas engines. But anyone who would prefer a shovel over a blower is either crazy or doesn't get much snow. Shoveling sucks....

Get a Cisco/linksys e2500, ea2700, or ea3200. If your place isn't bigger than 2000 sf, and you have a dsl the ~$80 e2500 is probably more than enough. Remember to be real skeptical about claims of...

Nice to see we're getting under you skin, that's Fun :yourock: Your hypocritical enough to post things on TGR that would theoretically be moderated on your forums? Or you only care about reasonable...

Only those East of the Mississippi have to bother with things as menial and sucky as bump runs :biggrin:

What a beautiful and rare morning (in the midst of a drought), it's raining today! Looked like there might have been very slight dusting of snow on the bald spot. Can't wait for winter, I'm ready!!

So if I were to join alpine zone, is the comment above typical of the condescending, insulting, and prejudiced remarks that would be allowed by the moderator??

It may not be the snowiest place and its pretty crowded for mountain towns, but summit/breckenridge and eagle county/vail are a good place to compromise. I know lots of people, myself included whose...

It did rain in vail yesterday. Nothing big but there were some light showers...

I've always wanted to ski Bear Valley since having such a great time at high Sierra music festival in 1999. Hope you get new management, can't imagine there's not plenty fun the terrain.

I saw in...

Rained for a while last night in W Vail (assuming it did on vail mtn also)

July and August have seen average or better than normal precipitation in vail. So much better than 2002's entire summer of drought until October. Confused why anyone in the vail area would be...

Never been in that specific spot myself, but I'm guessing they could add to the vertical leasing some forest land? Think it's also close to ST. Mary's glacier, so they its probably a decent location...

Its an interesting plan. Cater to teams coming from more than million people not much more than an hour away. Including building a restaurant to sell food including likely family member bystanders....

Fall is coming! First trees are changing color in west vail. Bushes are getting their fall colors in mass. Did notice that some aspen leaves up at beaver creek are fading much more than turning...

From the map on friends of wolf creek pass it looks like the ski resort leases land under the Alberta lift from mccomb?

We're in freaking deep this summer, big trouble!! Kathy Sabine said last night the models are showing a second high pressure ridge coming in behind the current one. Prayers for those already in the...

I think it's a great idea to have a mobile app. Make it easier to post TR could be the best way to encourage more of them on the site. IMHO putting them in a separate forum is a mistake. I'd much...

Something's burning! Will be glad but surprised if we dont find out something closer than nm is contributing to the smoke

IMHO this lawsuit sucks, hopefully it's thrown out by a judge. Not sure, but I thought avalanches were part of...

Rained pretty heavy yesterday evening/night in West Vail, enough to contribute something to runoff and a lot to soil moisture. While the rain was still coming down my creek did run a bit. Nice to...

I'm sure my memory is biased from the time that has passed, but I think we've had more precipitation in the last 2 days than all of Summer 2002 (around Vail). There was at least a dusting of new...

It's going to be a tough year for runoff. The intermittent creek which flows down from Davos by my home NEVER even trickled this year. Last year the intermittent creek was taking away 10 pound...

If you send him to Boulder, I'd be pretty disappointed if he can't find someone or even better some hot college babe with an SUV to get a ride from.

Rained in vail village for 10 minutes or so. I say let it rain, if that's what it takes to break a drought.

Sure it wouldn't be most fitting if it rained higher than mid Vail on the last day :)

Kind of surprised, didn't think SWE could be a negative number, but I guess according to this graph it is?
