Skied mushroom today and tried to get to bighorn, but ended up going too far left and ended up in racquet club. The snow was great in mushroom and the top of racquet club. Didn't sink into the facets much there. The lower half of racquet club was survival skiing on mostly facets and there was a fair share of obstacles to avoid. We had to down-climb the exit cliff to the skier's left. The pillow lines at the top were well worth going through the mess at the bottom.
As for avi conditions, it wasn't too bad. We only sent off a few sluffs.
Sadly, my phone died and I forgot my camera, so no pics.

Nice. Glad to see someone else gettin out there. Sounds like you ended up in Bighorn though? Racquet doesnt really have any exit cliff that I can remember, or are you talking about the rocky slope thats usually buried?
Gonna be in that area Fri-Sun if either of you guys want to get out.

It was definitely racquet club. We thought that rocky slope would suck and were trying to get around to the left and nothing was skiable. Last year, the cliffs skiers left were buried and I would go that way when the rocky slope was getting scraped off near the end of the season.
I'm off tues-wed-thurs every week, so I'll be working.

^^^ you guys be careful, if this snow is as wet and heavy as it looks like it might be, it'll be a shitshow in EV. Good decisions this weekend everyone.

Even if it's inches on the ground, you're looking at pace cars and everyone coming out of the woodwork. Denver to Eagle would be a lovely 3-hour tour.

Pace cars westbound? Since when?

One day in particular last year (maybe a few inches on the ground), there was a pace car going up and over VP last year starting from Copper.
EDIT - I realize that was before this program was fully implemented, but with the way CDOT is run, it wouldn't surprise me the least if pace cars were out going westbound this weekend. Slower speeds hopefully lending to less accidents lending to less time wasted on knuckleheads not prepared for snow.Ski edits | http://vimeo.com/user389737/videos

hmmm... I didn't know they were actually doing this
I got stuck in one eastbound from the tunnel about a year ago.
I swore CDOT must be doing something like running a pace car but no one believed me.
Actually I thought they were stopping both lanes to run plow trucks side by side, but a pace car makes more sense - truly created a clusterfuck.

It's the 3rd week in January with the saddest work ULLR has pulled out of his ass in maybe a century - any snow event will bring out the crowds at this point like crack heads on crack sample day at crack whole foods. Trying to wrangle a room to crash in Saturday night so we don't have to deal with the morning shit show. Coming home I just plan on having dinner and hot tub, chilling somewhere prior to dealing with what will surely be a crawl.
We'll see.Last edited by Poop~Ghost; 01-18-2012 at 05:04 PM.

This was Utah yesterday.... really no need to be away from a lift this weekend. But hey, I guess you get triple gnar points, right?
