Gullies were skiing great this weekend....skied the hell out of 1 & 2 always taking the early traverse out. Also got first tracks down Snorkel Nose yesterday and that didn't disappoint, but...
I've been skiing the Basin a lot this season and could tell the current situation (lack of skiers) wasn't sustainable. Season pass sales took a hit with the paid weekend/holiday parking and numbers...
Santa was very generous this holiday season. I’m super impressed with the build and finish quality on these FR110 beauties…..can’t wait to get them on snow. 186cm mounted up at -7cm.

-1 it is. Thanks!
I have the 186 FR110 on the way for holiday delivery. I'm old and a traditional-stance skier, have never been a neutral-stance skier. I ski the 186 Enforcer 104, 188 Rustler 11 and 192 Protest all...
I didn’t receive an email either….but they were quick to respond.

Everyone queued up for their dicks….

Reservation calendar is still wide open.....
Hopefully it remains easy.
A lot of us pre-ordered the Praxis Powderboards way back (2007) when Keith was getting off the ground......$400 was a smokin' deal.
I have a walnut topsheet Protest in 192 and just recently...
I'm looking for an OR code.....I need a new puffy. Thanks!
After the initial sourness wore off, I was super impressed with everyone's effort in stepping it up in Billy's absence.....particularly Molly Tuttle. Holy shit, she crushed it on Saturday. Friday...
After spending waaaaay too much time reading thru this thread repeatedly and some major lusting.....I couldn't refrain any longer. Just pulled the trigger on the 186 FR110 to serve as my resort pow...
FWIW....you can purchase these brand new thru Corbetts Ski w/ free shipping for $178.
Parking at Keystone and riding the Swan Mtn Flyer up, is the viable work around for weekend days where you can't get a last minute reservation. Yeah it's far from ideal, but it's an option.
I'd...
Same.

Hearing reports of a younger ripper (possibly a CU Boulder student) who was attempting a road gap over US40 on the WP side yesterday, came up short and died. Fack, terrible. RIP ripper.

I don't care what your stance is regarding wolves, this is sickening....

Seems like WP's ability to truly be a late season skiing mecca will always be constrained by it's lack of elevation and high alpine terrain. The highest MJ parking lot is 1,200' lower than ABasin...
Can confirm.

Just sat down at the table for my 2nd helping of dicks in a bag. Looks like I'm in good company.
New skis on the way, thanks Ptex!
Al will still be running the show, so that keeps me somewhat optimistic. My buddy on patrol thinks that they will still offer an ABasin only pass....so that sounds good to me. Don't 'force' me to...
Worst news I've heard in a long, long time. I wanna cry.
Fuck me.....I'm going to cry.
Yep, was thinking the same thing this past weekend......we need some wind to buff those bumps out.
Peak 7 went massive today during mitigation work. Woah.

Saw this slide rip down off Loveland Pass about an hour ago after walking out of BML. If you zoom in you can see someone(?) on the ridge. Yikes.

Yesterday was bizarre...."where is everyone"? I'll take it.
Summit County snowpack just jumped from 65% of median to 105% of median in the last 10 days. It's nice to be back on track.
That was my experience as well.....maybe a couple of 10 minute lift lines all day. People are clueless......just look at the shitshow that went down this past weekend. Many "shocked" (and served...
It’s intense out there! Can’t imagine too many (any?) lifts will be spinning. Shoveling is gonna be fun.

Scott or Jeff? Hi Grabs.

Yesterday at Breck was absolutely fantastic.
Pali Spine is prime today, if you can withstand the -47F windchill. It’s a little tough weather-wise out there, but it’s also not often that Main St...
It was def that in a few areas......presumably from no previous day traffic. The photo tells the story. 48 hour total is 14", so a few more inches in favorable spots isn't that crazy. I'm a...
Now I'm curious about these constantly-growing "expanders".
Yikes, nasty.
Go Blue.
The Big Show was splendid today. I took this photo of Chair #11 at 9:45am this morning. Maybe waited 8-10min in a few lines a little later around 11am. Bizarre.

Anywhere from 8"-18"...
I did a little digging around and based on Snotel data, it's the worst start at ABasin since the 90/91 season. 7 percentile. Yeehaw!
^^yeah, it was good below treeline......but probably the worst I've seen it above treeline. Guess I just needed to ignore the wind-fuct stuff. ;)
Tbar opened with access into the skier's right side of Horseshoe & Contest, North Bowl (was awful) and 6 Chair terrain (pretty decent). And E Chair terrain was open all day today after the soft...
Ha......ORB is soooooo fuggin' heady brah! :wink: The beer is great, but I'd rather visit the OG Broken Compass where I actually know people. La Perla is solid.....a favorite for sure.
You mean the food scene in Summit doesn't compare to Houston and Chicago?? Ground-breaking stuff, dude. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
And Rootstalk is fantastic. ;)
Bump.
Summit Thai - Frisco
Bird Craft - Frisco (inside Outer Range)
The Argentos Empanadas - Silvy/Dillon
Masala & Currry - GWS
Otto's - Fairplay
Rootstalk, Radicato, South Ridge Seafood, Mountain Flying Fish, Bold, Aurum, Piante, Mi Casa, Blue River Bistro......all solid. You're going to the wrong establishments, Fred. ;)
If you...
Nah....the food at Mi Casa is made in-house and actually quite good and $3 Modelos for hh is still solid. 3 tacos for $5 as well (shit, this may not be accurate since the May menu change).

Same here. 28 years in Summit and I can count on one hand the number of times I've skied there. There's just never been a desire, nor a good reason for me to ski there. However, if I lived on the...
Basin was fairly empty, I ended up skiing 18k’ in 3 hours.....it was busier on Tuesday. Yes, I have a problem and I blame it on the 89mm ‘skinnies’ I just picked up. ;)

Started on 10/17 with 3 minis.....damn, kicked my ass. Now doing 5 minis 3x per week. Need to do either more sets or up the reps to Full now.
They're simply trying to open ASAP and that's weather/temp dependent. This time of year, they'll make snow when they can and then let the snowmaking reservoir replenish itself when it's too warm to...
