^^^ nice, thx Danno. I’ll text you if go, prob mid day if so

Yes, I'm in for the real close day! 21st
And also plan to be up there tmrw (Sat, 4/6)

Eldo just extended to April 21!
7 feet in March… but a 40” reported base?!

Danno, I assume they finally got west ridge rope dropped today (sun)?

Thumbs up! The eldo Fri evening update looks grim (basalt lava flow is used) but I’m just curious! PM will almost certainly be better tho

^^^ yep a bit of a conundrum , we’re in same boat. Leaning going up early just to see the Corona side fresh after this storm. But not a lot of expectations conditions-wise

We got turns. Honestly the first couple runs was downhill poling. It was 4 ft condensed down to 1 ft - pretty wild how heavy it was. With just alpeng open, it was hard to find any non sun affected,...

Their Fri 1230 update hit at 1:15… limited opening, but sheriff has cars still stopped at the high school. We’ll see.
They also say storm came in heavy and wet - I can attest to cold dry yesterday,...

Buddy and I just posted up at salto for optionality! But man, lots of sun on those slopes this PM - not ideal

That was also when they closed the shelf road mid day and everyone at the mtn had to spend the night in the lodge. I don’t remember how long it stayed closed for tho.
A buddy tried for caribou...

The snow is absolutely prime! Not this heavy stuff back in town

Well, we posted up outside the gate last night - prob 6-7 cars total. Didn’t open today. And they booted us out of the FS (public) parking area this morning. Claimed it was eldora owned land a which...

Packing sleeping bags

That is fkn awesome - strong work. Various things conspired against me, but heading up early tmrw. Man, I hope they get some real tree runs open soon!

I bussed up for an early skin session Monday - some nice soft turns. But noticed alpenglo not yet spinning @ like 845, a bad sign. That little bit of snow also jacked up the RTD 913am return bus...

Uphill open this week 7-9am. Free armband with ikon or eldo pass, order online.
I can only imagine how icy now after that wind - stay safe all

Uphill open this week 7-9am. Free armband with ikon or eldo pass, order online.
I can only imagine how icy now after that wind - stay safe all

Just saw that Eldo uphill is free w/ ikon or regular pass. Maybe thats been the case for a few years but last I checked it was 99/year for anyone.
Looks like it won't start till after holidays...

damn, tied up tmrw... but maybe I'll try to pull a clusterfuck sat or sun!
and we gotta pull off the clusterfuck carpool this year

I should be able to get up there 1230-1 ish. I’ll prob go either way and will text you. May be able to coax a neighbor to ride along

Did we settle on the 7th for the meet up? If so, I’ll shoot up as soon as I can early afternoon

I may still shoot up in afternoon still but agree that very high chance for wind hold.
Next Fri Apr 7 (afternoon again for me) works great. And prob could do Apr 13.
Thx danno for organizing!

I have a conflict first half of the day but will plan to shoot up early afternoon.
Thx for organizing Danno!

My schedule is all over the place but I’ll watch this and try best to join!

Wed was kinda weird. Pretty legit 7”. Pretty big line up at first chair. But no corona line for two runs, then it just got huge. I think the CU and bvsd kids were more on a 930 eta schedule. Then it...

Also good to know re the shuttle. I’m outta country till Sunday, then hoping to start getting up there more.
How’s WiFi working up there? I’m largely remote working

Cool. Maybe just a text group is easiest. I’m happy to start and put my number out there - I get enough spam already. Three oh three 579 7 oh oh 9. Text me if you want in

^^^ EWG thumbs up... and maybe just a text or email group is easier? I certainly have a few buddies I'd loop in. I'm prob not going up this weekend but would be great to assemble some folks for...

Given the new eldora parking price (weekends, holidays, pow days?), carpooling would be great. I found the Tread Share app which looks pretty slick and allows to set a price race to split gas - but...

What could go wrong?

Cutting in alpentongue and wolfwhatever and f-ing up the old Bryan’s was bogus.
Updated parking message below… rule #1, don’t ski on weekends. Rule #2, ski weekdays.
...

Sad that things got that tense. Was at Moffat yesterday. Likely confluence of RMNP closed and Eldo park out (and wind and avy risk above TL) made things way more crowded than I've ever seen there....

While I-70 has (or had) its Camaro, Eldora has its Gremlin. If only they'd actually replace the rear window and put a mega lift kit on the thing...

^^^ thx much

Somewhat related to eldo... So I always seem to be a week late learning when the road is plowed up to 4th of July. Anyone have a rule of thumb on this? Even on where to find out? That road (CR 111)...

Good morning next door above Lost Lake! Kudos to plows clearing up to Hessie by 645

Gotta a rez and kept morning open for tmrw. Should be pretty good.
Have we discussed eldos snow stake? I feel like that technology has been pretty dialed. But eldo’s has like two levels to theirs...

Agreed yesterday was a very memorable eldo day. Just fyi, I know a bunch who skipped it yesterday (why?!) who are geared up to go first thing this AM (Mon)

Although caic point forecast for eldo has basically 2 feet accumulating pretty evenly from sat mid-morning through sun night. I think that cdot could keep on top of something like that (vs say 3-4...

Some predictions (assuming we get anywhere near the numbers they're forecasting)...
Sat = roads and eldo open, but risk of getting stuck up there later in the day (the shelf road has real avy risk)...

Your wish is mother natures command... upslope in the forecast!

I got up today for last two hours. Man, the last few days of sun really cooked everything. It was snowing HARD but started too late to buffer the frozen base. But should snow well into the night and...

Odds of "all trees closed" signs still being up on Feb 1?

Terribly sad. A friend was on corona a bit before and said multiple people slid it, was just windblasted down to ice on right side. Rip and vibes

Went up this AM. Guns are pounding now on the lookers right side of Corona. The left half is actually pretty well covered top to bottom. Guessing they open it this weekend.
And from a distance, west...

Ha! 2020, Corona, eldora, clusterfuck... yes, great word association

Ha! Saw the corona announcement and figured they had half of corona run going - next to like 10 snow guns... but thanks for the heads up that just reach-around the horn
Love that we got an E thread...
