Seems like the racers are done at copper and the runs off the B are open now. Very firm and fast out there this morning for some pre work laps.

Planning on running the cat for Christmas
I think this is super cool, apex predators benefit the whole ecosystem. I'm quite sure we have a pack of wolves roaming the periphery of town. Had some encounters with my dog and the neighbor took a pic of the biggest male sitting in the back yard. Unusual cream color.Quote:

We had to ski from patroller to patroller. Just stellar early season excitement. I'm leaving for Christmas holidays, so glad this was my last day of 2023.
Maybe they will be opening looker's right soon. Here's a pic of Revenge? - maybe they are getting ready to side step it, the line I skied twice yesterday had not been crosscut or sidestepped, so who knows.

Purgatory opened Lift 8 on the back side so they can say all lifts are running. The snow quality between the rocks, brush, bare spots and uncovered, short trees and stumps was excellent.[emoji41]
The groomers are sweet right now with fresh snow over man-made and fair temps. Purple/blue wax for fast gliding and smooth turns.

Which trail?Quote:

same old WC best 6 turns.
Looks good. Maybe I should come visit.
Hopefully this xmas storm gives us another foot.
Yikes. Abasin has a whole 9/144 runs open…..
We need it to deliver as it looks like we may be back to high pressure for 1-2 weeks after this one.Quote:

Fuck capitalism and publicly owned companies too.Quote:
