Jealous. I'm swamped with work but my goal is to get out there at least once a winter. Probably trying for this afternoon for a quick lap or two.

Groomers were cruising as always. Glad to get out with ya!

Gonna be at Copper tomorrow if anyone wants to ski some laps.

Speaking of buses, I am staying off roaring fork drive just east of downtown. How reliable is that mountain valley line, can I prepay or do I need cash, and is it worth it to take to snowmass or...

Brutal. Don't get addicted to pain meds. I'll pour one out and dedicate my next powder run to you.

The people want to know, what run was it on?

Not to start any rumors. But there is this. https://twitter.com/asp321/status/1476706677638402058?s=20

Looking good for a lot of places already with a lot more snow to come still during the day. Might hoof it to Loveland here in a bit.

Good luck and godspeed. Can Steamboat beat its attendance record again between Christmas and New Years? Maybe the colder part of the storm will keep people inside. Curious for your updates on how the...

This is tempting. Anyone want to split a room Saturday?

Yea I checked, looks like $290 a night at basalt mountain inn this weekend.

Looks good. Am tempted to go to Aspen this weekend but lodging is just so expensive.

$10 of which goes to Mountain Rescue Aspen.

I could be mistaken, but my understanding is the course is on Moran Face.

Ya you're right. I am only going for some social skiing... but all the way up at Vail. Mentally preparing myself for the worst.

See you Saturday on I-70. Think leaving at 6 am will be early enough?

Unfortunately Patagonia also makes ridiculously long sleeves across all of their products.

The biking has been exceptional lately.

The cool cats these days are just posting their ski days on Strava.

Cool aiming for watching the Men's Snowboard Superpipe then. Its really just a novelty seeing as its a surprise that I happen to be there during the games.

Figured. Was planning on doing 3 days, one day at each except for Buttermilk. Isn't the bus the only way to get to the x games venue? Is it worth it to even go if the buses are a cluster?

Just realized my three days in Aspen overlap with the X Games. How busy is it during the games and what can I expect? Staying on the east side of Aspen.

+1 on this, wondering if I would really have to pay as a solo passenger for afternoon shift.

When is Breck expanding to Peak 1 with a gondola from Frisco?

Can I get to shadows and closets quicker in the morning? Sounds like a good thing to me. What about a tow rope from the top of storm king up to mt. werner?

The new gondola is something to get excited about. Two gondolas bringing people out of the base area in the morning? And one that is just a straight shot to the summit? Sounds great to me.

Reserved for 3/14-3/18. Thanks for the update y'all!

Mans on the Ikon pass, so presumably gonna have to be stratton.

He's visiting me out west mid January, he's an beginner/intermediate so any time on the snow before that will help.

Yea you won't find me there then. I warned him it will likely be crowded.

Hi all. Posting on behalf of a buddy of mine.

Anyone know the best (and cheapest) ways to stay in Stratton or Sunday River? Sunday River pre Christmas, and then Stratton around Christmas.

I will be riding the 8th through the 11th. Thank you for the suggestion on the hotel The SnowShow! I owe funkendrenchman a beer or six.

I'm getting mixed messages here.

Doing some late planning for ski days around the beginning of April, anyone have the inside scoop on the cheapest hotels / lift tickets?

Cheers mate enjoy it for me. I have roommates in my 60s so I am keeping it safe and low key, still on snow just not at resorts.

Between covid, reservations and the low snow I finally gave up on the season and deferred my Ikon pass. Here's hoping for better snow next year.

This is a skiing thread. Who the fuck gives a shit about roll covid?? https://twitter.com/james_benedetto/status/1348860386930552833?s=19

In other news - Lesh has made the New Yorker:...

Agreed, not too worried about my own skiing I just really don't like seeing people wreck themselves. Probably 3 years ago now helped ski patrol get to and cordon off a skier at the bottom of long...

I don't know if anyone else would have been there, but January 2nd was a zoo! I doubt its anywhere near that, shoulder to shoulder from the bus drop to...well the lifts.

Looks like no skiers either.

Backed up one way to Floyd Hill and Downville the other.

Danno - Eldora has a few hidden secrets, but not much and they are almost always sharky or somewhat sketchy due to lack of glading.

I can easily see how this happens, but with a topo map anything is possible. Agree with Foggy, however pony road >>>>>> 810 trail but those banked turns and the bridge in outrigger trees are always a...

Feeling the same way here. I didn't even know that they renamed clot.....

Word on the street is that lane closures start a 8 am. 2 years ago it was leaving my house at 7:30, now its getting through IS by then....

While their buddies who never settled down are out ripping on the sleds.

Saw some photos online and from friends. Its only December, half the people out there now are no where to be found come April.

WP is already seeing comments on their socials about "we already have vacation plans omg!"
Season of hedged bets, good luck to anyone trying to make plans.

Yea until you see the front right tire just sheer off on a rental going up over Berthoud and then flipping onto the guardrail. Sure winter driving is dangerous, but more power to the yahoos taking...
