    it certainly was!!! Sure, its been unseasonably warm this winter, but our springs in the Colo highcountry often means warm days punctuated by big dumps.

    Sorry, but that was not a "big dump".
    I didn't have a good bottomless day in two months.

    Then you were in the wrong place. WP and Loveland snow stakes showed 16" + over the course of 2 days. Favored backcountry in those areas easily skied 18-24"+ deep. Bottomless turns were definitely had.

    You drove to Jackson at the exact wrong time? I try to help, but you just won't listen.

    Aspen was off the hook today!

    Wasn't that the same time there were inbounds wet slabs? Sorry, but, sounds like dangerous conditions for bottomless turns away from control.

    Nope, not the same time (and I think the inbounds wet slabs were in Aspen - different snowpack zone). Definitely weren't any wet slabs going on last Tuesday/Wednesday. It was below freezing both days.

    Well, here's an indicator. Or not. Some dude is riding a lawn tractor outside my condo window and cutting the....grass. if that's what you call the brown stuff that's growing in the brown dirt with little snow patches scattered about.

    Left a cold, gray NYC this morning where I saw the sun for 1 day of 7, arrived back to a 75 deg. bursting with color Denver. We have good fucking lives out here, even if the ski season is wrapping up.

    Hopefully Thurs/Fri may deliver something?

    Today was awesome. Tomorrow should be.
    Thursday could be variable? With the new snow, Friday and Saturday should soften early on the right aspects.

    Sadly, I'm hearing dust in the San Juans, and we're getting some here as well. '11-'12 sucked worse than this but it was also one of the best spring seasons- because we never got dust. Not looking that way this year.

    Ah, fuck. I had my fingers crossed...

    Would appreciate reports from folks around the state on how bad the dust comes in.

    Not all dust events are created equal. There's dirty snow and then there's dirty snow. Dust source, geographic distribution, manner of deposition, etc. can vary.

    Last year, it was worse from Independence Pass south, but the late skiing was great in Summit, Clear Creek, Grand & points north. I remember years with dirty spring snow that skied great. I remember other years where it really was fucked up. It seems a light, even coat of dust skis all right? But I recall a heavy, "tiger-striped" version a few years ago that skied terrible, herky-jerky & slow. Also remember one year when the term "dust" was an understatement, there were thin flakes of red sandstone almost half-dime sized on the highest peaks!

    Still hoping for a couple of those smooth, easy-pickin's, late season runs up high. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out.
