I'm pretty sure a fire has popped up to the west of Vail. It looks like smoke is coming up somewhere north of gypsum/Glenwood.

+1 on Maxim. Going big to the tune of metal.

Warm and sunny at the basin today. The pond skim was tons of fun, as usual. Great end to the season.

The colors are incredible. I guess I have to go there now.

Great photos, too.

I put my dukes with 110mm brakes on my 120mm underfoot ON3P caylors. They fit without bending and work without catching.

Not quite sure, but it happened. I think it had something to do with having my park skis on.

Yeah, that's more like it. Still better than icy slush/corn faceshots.

In the gore there was about 4 inches of heavy pow on top of mostly frozen above 11I. I even got a few face shots. I turned back at 12k due to some weather moving in. Below 10k was shitty.

That is one hell of a line.

A truly fitting tribute.

I've been lurking on this thread for a while now, here's my humble first contribution.

Badass line!

So you're the guy who snaked me after I broke trail up the ridge.

It was goddamn windy on James peak today. I bet it was blowing in the 50s coming up St. Marys glacier. Right in the face, blowing me backwards on my skins. However, we were able to get in the...

I did a quick midnight skin up Vail tonight. It was fucking cold up top. Single digits for sure, nearby weather stations confirm. Riva skied like a dream.

I drove from A Basin into Dillon with my ski rack open. Skis were inside, but I bet I looked dumb for a while.

I can't believe they didn't rake the 13 inches of fresh snow from the rails today. What's up with that?

I didn't get to A Basin until noon, but there was still plenty of deep pockets on zuma cornice and pali was skiing nice and soft all day. East wall should be fun tomorrow if the rest doesn't sluff...

I'm driving my friend's car back from the airport. It has been shitty the whole way here and we're not even there yet. And Denver traffic sucks. I'm gonna hit up the basin on the way back. Hopefully...

Vail was deeeeep this morning, now it's packed and tracked. Chair 5 is still overflowing.

Holy shit, I had a blast at Highlands today. We were skiing fresh lines all day long.

Trying to decide between Highlands and A Basin for tomorrow. Any thoughts?

Employee day at Vail was downright awesome. It was a huckfest on on 4 and 11. Everything kept filling in and there would be a quarter inch on snow on us everytime we got off the lift. Easily 14-16...

The snow is so heavy on all the trees, some look ready to break in half.

Vail was damn good this morning. Super foggy up top with heavy, wet snow coming in bursts. Silky smooth in the trees where you could see. Almost felt bottomless in places. It's heavy now that the...

A little bit of red dust on Vail today.

What is with the green apple skittles?

That Cossack is sick! He looks like a tie fighter.

Rasputin's was damn good. Deep slush. Great landings off the drops, as long as you clear the rocks and miss the shrubs.

It is full on winter today. I'm really regretting not bringing my face mask.

Snowing consistently from vail to dowd junction for the last 30 minutes or so.

Vail skied pretty damn nice today, despite being pretty crowded. There is still soft in the trees and really nice landings off some good drops.

Staying in the shade today was money. The snow was soft and surfy top to bottom. Anything in the sun was baked and way more likely to slide.

Yeah, centennial doesn't make sense traffic wise. I bet it's just old and beat up from running winter and summer and they just want a new lift.

I've been forgetting to post my photos up here, so here's some belated stoke from the last month or so.

Making the most of a dry January....

Trenching in the bowls today. I'm loving the northwest flow under-report days this year.

How do you know he wasn't just channeling his inner mcconkey? That shit is fun as hell.

It's been dumping on and off in Vail all night. If it keeps snowing consistently, it'll be nice tomorrow.

^vibes, man. Hope for a speedy recovery.

I got them in my season old salomon quest 14s that had cold, packed out liners that fit like shit. Now my feet are warm (sweaty at anything above single digits) and more comfortable as ever. The...

A quick and dirty edit from Vail today:

58687558

Holy shit, today was waist deep and face shots all day. And I mean it was actually waist deep. As in, if you stopped, you were in snow up to your waist.

There is a ton of snow in town, its looking like it's gonna be deep today.

I was riding up chair 11 today with 2 guys. A guy skis under the chair with a go pro, prompting a conversation between them about how they worked.

Guy 1: how do those things work, do they just...

I spread eagled the fuck outta the catwalk above tourist trap last week. On snowlerblades. But sending it to the steep on tourist trap, that would require some serious speed. It's either, send the...

Pepi's face slid sometime this morning. Snowmaking.

I certainly got all I wanted for Christmas.

Left thigh with right hand. Put em under as I sit down, but pull out before I unload. :biggrin: Don't be the jong that doesn't pull them out before unload and gets racked in the nuts while...
