How was Breck alpine terrain today? (Lake Chutes, Snow White, Whale's Tail, Upper 7, etc.) Wind beat? Or wind filled?

Just on the gondola now coming down from Breck. Skied very well, awesome day. Wind filled in pockets in 7 and Horseshoe. Lake Chutes was very nice with dense snow. Skied crazy Ivan's (think thats the name for the line skier's left of the chute enterence and drops you out above the diamond). Good hucking snow, fun day.

It was very, very good. Very little of the high alpine terrain slid, so the dense, slightly wind-buffed powder made for smooth, high speed turns. All landings were very soft. I too was wondering how the snow had held up, but was pleasantly surprised. It was great randomly meeting up with KansasBoarder and Adimmen for a Lake Chutes lap. It was about noon or so before patrol was able to get Imperial open.

I was thinking about some Breck alpine for tomorrow - going to be super-crowded? Frontage Road was full at Vail today...
I did get first tracks down Lovers Leap today - excellent! The west side, however, is now devoid of snow. Hope everyone enjoys their EVs tomorrow, 'twas nicely blown-in the trees.o--/\

I caught the t bar yesterday early, two good laps in horseshoe before it got so crowded I lost patience, then same deal on six chair. Waited for imperial, but not long enough, went down for lunch and then back out to the south side of ten w skinnies. Sunny and warm stashes. My spatulas are getting a tune, gawd they would not slide on that cold snow. Actually clicked out and walked rather than try to traverse. Also managed to wrap myself around a tree, massive bruise on my quad...sheesh, think I'll go ski w kids today. And! Some other chick was wearing my jacket! Time for new clothes.
Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Great day in EV. Didnt hit anything huge - too sketchy of a windslab to be poking around on top of the usuals, but got in a few 25-35'ers, and found a super sweet new pillow zone.
Small new snow crown above abes right, looked remotely triggered by people dropping left off the top, scary! Could have gone big. Old mans crown from the incident while CAIC was out there is HUGE! 8-10' looking at it from Joint Point. The cornice has grown from about 5' to 15' this last week.
Found a GNARLY 60-80' pillow freefall line, but couldnt see the LZ from the top. Thought about getting the rope out. Gonna try to circle around and check it out today. Maybe Sunday? First time I've been puckered in a long time. Very stoked on that feeling!
Guy in our crew lost a ski (praxis) tomahawking down some pillows skiers left Watertower. Spent about a half hour digging around before giving up. Might've gotten stuck in a pillow. Major suckage. Didn't get back to the car till 5. On the upside I got to give some smokin hot Argentinians a ride to Frisco.

I may come to Breck tomorrow to ski....you gonna be around Chad? I've got a party over here @ 4 so I'd have to leave at like 2 but if Katie decides not to ski, then I'll probably make the drive.

Yep, I'll be skiing inbounds with the wifey at Breck tomorrow. Give me a shout.
Holy friggin' wind today. Skinned up Mayflower Gulch to ski some mellow terrain and couldn't believe how windy it was just above treeeline. Easily 60 mph sustained wind along a low elevation ridge just above treeline. Absolutely brutal weather, but the snow was pretty good even if it was a little wind-affected.
Most definitely. Shoot me a PM sometime and I'll do the same.Last edited by cmsummit; 02-25-2012 at 05:44 PM.

Blurred, Mogadishu, Gosey, and I are hitting the park at Keystone tomorrow. Look us up, yo! Chauncey Billups in the hizzouse.
Watching skijoring with a bloody mary at 45 degrees in the bright sun with the wind wisping the snow off the ridges and avoiding skiing Vail on a weekend with 20,000 of my best friends did not suck.
No major instabilities observed.

I'm reporting that Vail skied excellent today. Some new snow. Hucked cliffs all day. Super soft landings everywhere. More snow coming tonight.

Variable. At least 6", but I wanna say some leeward slopes had 10 inches or so. The snow was FKNA deep under the rocks near the bottom of orient express. Vail was definitely not empty though...
I heard another 8"-16" tonight. Let's hope so.The furthur we go, the stranger it gets...
