Awesome!

Not necessarily rude, but definitely ineffective. It would take me 20 hours a week to field all the sales emails/ calls/ linkedin requests I get, so I ignore almost everyone. I know how many...

Hmm...Vail or the Beav....?

If we don't have a wet spring, this year will be worse than 2002 and 2012. There's all kinds of places overdue for a big one- Frasier valley, west side of RMNP, Summit, Gore Range and the entirety...

"Safety Not Guaranteed" was pretty good. Gf liked it.

Skied Eldora today. Mostly dust on ice, but today was one of the better days I've ever had at Eldora, which really isn't saying much at all.

Patten change in two weeks.

3 whole inches for Vail. What it's happening in Eagle county now?

It started to come down, but hadn't snowed until sometime after 6.

I bet that inch will ski like its two inches though.

Edit to add- There is almost no new snow on the ground in Boulder.

Fuck this season.

Not even going to bother today.

China Bowl

When is 1-70 skiing NOT a shitshow?

Vail's been downright tropical recently. I skied right into a large patch of exposed dirt last week. Really fucked up my skis.

Cautiously optimistic about this one. Will likely be headed to Vail tomorrow.

Yep, I've never had water get through the glove, ever.

Outer surface has been treated maybe twice to clean and help water bead, but that's it.

I've had the same pair of OR gives with Gore Tex + a full gauntlet since January 2007. They have lasted through hundreds of ski days and several big international climbing expeditions.

Other than...

Driving from Beaver Creek to Boulder this afternoon and when we got to Copper the electronic sign said something along the lines of "bumper to bumper stop and go traffic Eisenhower to Denver" and...

God hates summit county.

I have a theory they wraparound NW flow /= to a normal NW flow storm. All the moisture in a wraparound storm still gets sucked out by the southern ranges just like a S or SW storm, hence why this...

It hasn't snowed since 6pm.

Edit- at the Beav

Don't get your hopes up for tomorrow. There are a ton of stars out still.

Thanks for all the info!

Lots of stars here in Eagle County tonight. This storm is a bust.

Re: Heli: I was just wondering why they were called when there were no serious injuries.

What if someone had an injury that day that wasn't that bad? The Heli shows up, and then someone who had a...

What about the one ordered last weekend?

Edit to add- I know there is good intention from all SAR/first responders including heli crews, just playing devils advocate because I often hear the "SAR...

NWS now saying West winds Sat changing to NW on Sat night.

Headed up to Beaver Creek for an early Valentines weekend tomorrow and spending the night tomorrow night. Hopefully Sunday is good!

So the whole idea about not being afraid to call SAR certainly comes into play with helicopter rescues. If you get hurt in the Sangres, there is a good chance the military will respond and you won't...

While SAR teams will not likely charge you, it is my understanding that in CO non military helicopter operators most can and do charge people.

Is that correct?

Looks like S-SW winds for the storm this weekend. I guessing 1-70 gets little or no snow.

So it sounds like the woman was above the cliffs after the avi ran its course and then either descended on her own down into Rush or slipped on the bed surface and slid into rush?

I have no idea what happened over the weekend, and I haven't skied backcountry this year, so I'm not about to weigh in on decisions made how good or bad they might have been in current conditions....

Vail was actually not very crowded yesterday. We left North Boulde at 6:45 and made it up there in 2 hours, which is incredibly fast.

No lift lines (at least non more than 2 minutes. There were...

Watched the first episode. I like the idea of the format; not sure if I can get into the storyline.

It really bothered me that Spacey's character only sometimes talks in an obnoxious southern...

What's the over/under on somebody dying in East Vail this weekend?

Was going to sell this on my own in this thread, then I saw this thread.

This is a crosspost from the local Boulder craigslist post. If a mag buys through Gearswap I'll donate 100% of the sale...

If a mag buys this through gearswap, all money for the pack will go to the Gripen gear fundraiser- http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php/258611-GRIPEN-fundraiser-gear-sale-thread!

Edit- Sold on craigslist. No longer available.


This is a crosspost from the local Boulder craigslist page, but I thought I'd post here in case any mags are interested-

Excellent Condition...

Went for a 20 mile bike ride in shorts today. Wasn't cold at any time during the ride. Hard to believe it's January.

Thinking a lot about moving to Washington...

It's going to be bad when we run out of water for agg/ranching this summer. Cheap meat in the short term at least.

Perhaps the remainder of CO Springs will burn down as well. I guess there is...

Could you with with jondrums to make a jig that works for binding freedom swap plates?

Also should have noted to be careful with rocks/stumps right under the surface. I hit a large buried rock in sun down tip first, locking my ski on place and sending me flying. Really thankful I was...

Skied vail.

GF broke her snowboard binding, leading to an hour or so cruising around lionshead while she was getting it fixed. It was tough knowing things were getting skied out during that time....

When/where did this happen?

I was thinking that today. BSB really kinda sucks unless there is a ton of new snow back there. I really don't get it- most days it is bobsled/ice luge style tree runs that ski like shit on anything...

What about liquid silicone spray?

Someone I respect posted this on facebook-

I have tomorrow off work.

What's my best bet for skiing with an epic pass- Vail or Beaver Creek?
