22” at Copper by opening. Choked on some snow today. Good day for the Bent Chetlers.

was fucked up good at the basin yesterday. Even areas that the wind scoured a bit got better as the day went on and snow moved itself around over it. Much colder snow than what I heard breck skied like.

Touron edit from Thurs, Fri, Sat last week at Breck. About as perfect as blue bird spring skiing can be, though Saturday the slush factory was in double overdrive.
First time I have skied that place in a couple three decades.
Snow ski season is over for me sadly, time to get the boat for slalom turns on the river, though the daughter has a week at a Mt Hood race camp in June.

Yeah Ugly, I love that shit. Families just skiing because they love skiing. Sage has really good early edge pressure and lower body separation, two technical skills shared but all actually good skiers and fairly rare today.

Thanks Foggy! You definitely have a coaches eye. We have worked on early pressure for years, this year is the first year she really gets it. She is definitely a bit ahead of the age curve with her upper lower body separation.
Working on quieting her early lateral movement, which takes pressure off the new outside ski. She learned that bad habit from watching me.
She has a good coach, and has had lots of good coaches, plus dad.
The only thing that sucks is reviewing video and realizing she is skiing lines way better than me now. Easy to lie to myself until I watch. Definitely motivation to get myself in better shape.

Ha...I used to coach kids in our Freeride Progam and I grew up an EC Racer.
I few years ago I realized I had become a lazy skier. I'm over that and am back to being self critical of my tecnique.
I've got good motivation and roll models. At WP, I get to ski with national coaches, Olympians, gray hair ripper, people with no legs, maniac 11 year olds and on.
It is a race and if you don't keep up, nobody waits.

Apparently 50 is closed between Montrose and Gunnison "indefinitely" due to bridge failure. I was contemplating going to Monarch and riding Hartman's this weekend, guess that's not happening.
ETA: Sage rips!

thats what I just did the last two days. Got blown out on Shavano so met my friend from Gunnison at Monarch. $54 senior ticket. My first time there. Breezeway was closed due to wind so did not get over there. Rode Hartman's today. windy. Great trail system. Had to do some serious groveling after pissing off my friend. He was telling me about the great camping there. All I was seeing was wind and sage, was not seeing the scenic beauty.

-- there is some great camping tucked away under some cool rock formations, etc.
Snowaddict, at least they didn't close 50 mid winter, ha. Who knows how long it will be, but it's sounding kind of major...

50 has been a cluster for how many years now? It almost deserves its own thread.

What about one of those military style floating bridges?

My guess is that the fluctuating of the reservoir levels wouldn't play nice with something like that?

OK, a ferry?
Mostly I'm just rolling my eyes about our infrastructure challenges and how we collectively feel and respond.
Queue Polis presser, emergency funding, expensive contractor repair. But I'll stop talking out my ass. I think we've got 2 bridge engineers and CDOT bridge project manager on this fourm.

Glad I am not flying out of Montrose this week! We drove across last week and the bridge was down to one lane while they had the inspection truck out on the bridge, i assumed it was a typical annual inspection. I have no idea what they saw that caused them to shut the bridge down (I have some pretty good guesses though), but I can assure you it must have been some pretty scary shit. CDOT employees aren’t going to give up their weekend for anything minor. I have seen enough bridge failures to be just fine with them shutting it down, even though it is inconvenient as fuck. If they are going to the effort of opening up the bypass I am assuming this is going to be a multi - week fix.
Now the canyon project on the other hand that is a fucking joke on how long that has taken - I could have built a bridge down the entire length of that in half the time it has taken them.

I was sitting in stopped traffic last week by the next bridge west, the funny part is my friends and I were talking about how bad we are as a population at taking care of infrastructure, then I made a joke about a barge hitting the bridge.
I'm thankful that I really only need to travel on 50 for recreation and not work or healthcare.

No need for a barge, a fisherman in a bass boat would probably take that bridge out. haha

Just a slight detour:
The northern route is 354 miles and requires approximately six hours of travel time. The southern route is 331 miles and requires nearly 7 hours of travel time.Is it radix panax notoginseng? - splat
