Skied Mt. Sherman on Tuesday
Skinned and skied Mt. Sherman this past Tuesday. The 4 mile creek road was so crappy we stopped early and parked several miles ahead of the normal parking area near the horseshoe camping area. This made for quite the slog, I clocked 14 miles on the day on my gps. We stowed our skis underneath the ridgeline as the peak was entirely exposed rock. Got some nice soft snow down a narrow gully avoiding the abundant rock hard windslab on the saddle and down the main stretch. There is still some snow up there which I'm sure is declining rapidly with current sunshine. Curious about conditions on other 14ers.

Vail is gonna be nice in the morning. 7-8" of dense surfy snow fell between 4 and 10. Stars are out now, so I think it might be done.

Season is over folks, they are closing down the resorts due to bear infestations and the ski area will put away the moguls for summer storage area sooner than later. Time to break out the golf clubs!
Skied 5 inches at the Basin this morning. Good snow, but coral reef underneath. Still fast and fun, not crowded at all actually, despite full lots.

I skied Grays on Saturday, skis on summit to car. Gigantic sastrugi that was enjoyable to ski, and an ice crust on northerly aspects in the trees at 10,500'. It's nice seeing so much white on the mountains this time of year, hopefully the snow keeps up.
What else is in? Dead Dog looks amazing and had one set of tracks in it from the past couple days. Trying it crossed my mind but it's a little early for me, weird season though."High risers are for people with fused ankles, jongs and dudes who are too fat to see their dick or touch their toes.
Prove me wrong."

Had a face palm moment at my kid's pool today, talking with a parent, who said she's glad winter is almost over. In Denver. Where there hasn't been winter in a month.

Great pow skiing on N/NE aspects below treeline @ Continental Divide today. Frequent whumpfing at the tippy top of treeline.

Breck was pretty damn good today. Spent most of the afternoon on Peak 6. Skied pretty bottomless over there.

Surprising how many people I talk to seem to think that the snow sucks right now. Riding the chairlift: "man, we sure need snow, glad we got a few inches" from multiple parties. The whole state is at 120-150% of average! All about that base, bout that base....
It's been an amazing season with more double digit pow days than I can remember. A little warm spell melts snow in the valleys and wind blows snow off the top of the peaks and everyone thinks it sucks. Hope they keep thinking that and bail on the season early. Gotta love the Franger powder snobs who can't enjoy a good old fashioned chalk surfing day.
