Can't see your pics Rocca

Anyone out this week with some beta on the conditions?

Decently frozen early thanks to clear skies and stiff breeze. Coverage isn't the best. Just hit the SE bowl and east bowl out of summit lot with scrambling to the snow in Boulder's. Corn ripe...

I yelled a question at a local today about the tornado alley thing and he just gave me a look like he'd kick my ass...

I skied at Pikes Peak on Saturday. Was hoping to try the Y couloir but the road opening was delayed by 1 1/2 hour at the bottom and then a further 1/2 hr near the top and I had to be out of there...

Anyone get out today ?

Getting manky with above freezing night temps or still reasonably firm underneath?

Few inches of powder going sloppy at noon on Guyot yesterday
...

Yeah not Trailridge and not Evans for the weekend

"US 34 Trail Ridge Road: *CHANGE* Road is not likely to be open for the Holiday Weekend due to snow depths and pending weather. Ph# 970-586-1222...

Good day to ski a peak yesterday.

Mid October is nothing to bank on.

Have hit powder in September and October but also can be nothing. For the white ribbon of death Arapahoe basin and Loveland might be open. From the history...

Checking in from Steamboat where the early February visit means it's been dumping all night...........................errr I mean raining

Seattleboat it seems.

WTF

Yeah re: Genesee you'd have to buy out the guy who has his Mansion there now and or the bottom property so millions just to get control of the land. And then you'd have the challenges above as well...

There used to be a ski in Genesee a long while back. With snowmaking nowadays it could work. I'd think someday something along those lines will open , but maybe just a bit higher than Heritage...

Come on. Wolf Creek is as awesome as it gets...



...for those 5-6 turns at least.[emoji2]

Only open to Colorado natives, so bring your birth certificate

I think that he was ticketing and or having cars parked on the road towed but he was making it worse by blocking the entrance. I guess that he thought the cars should have just kept going and taken...

Berthoud today was good powder.

As usual someone pushing it:

Then total shitshow at parking lot with johnny...

Pretty big for a brook trout.


I hit Ye Olde snow patch for a few runs on Sunday

Dirty and lumpy in spots = par for the course this time of year

Thanks

I ended up hiking Torrey's and skiing the tuning fork. There was a surface freeze from a clear night so it was holding together ok but some potential to break into unfrozen under neath. ...

Anyone get out on the front range today? Wondering if the warm overnight temps mean sloppy or its holding up.

Me? No I hitched multiple times and down climbed from the parking lot up top into the north couloirs a couple times and hit the east bowls a few times. North stuff was good until early afternoon...

Mount Evans Couloirs and Bowls today.

North shots with party of three in nearest line: 183361

Thought about heading up today but couldn't. Might try to get there myself Saturday for some laps from the top.

I love that line, other than the exit is a bit of a hassle. Those turns off the summit 😍😍

Skiers left

Great turns on Daves Wave today. Kinda wind scoured on top but lower bowl creamy 6-12". Super frozen underneath. Strong winds so I suspect the easterly wind loaded areas are slabbier.

Did a couple of Mines to hanging meadow runs at Berthoud this morning. It was powder early and turning heavy and roller balls by noon. Got warm fast.

Ended up only having 3 hours so hit the Eldora slack country for a few laps. A bit of pow in the shade but also kinda sticky and crusty. Time to go up high unless new pow comes in.

Anyone get out touring today? I might get out for a tour tomorrow and wondering if only north is still uncrusted?

A few inches of powder.

Will get get warm again now I suppose.

That goes without saying.

Glad to know that you speak for all machine riders at Buff and Vail. How were you elected to that post? I know that a couple friends have in the past actually met up with groups up there, but I...

NW flow will probably mean better snow at Berthoud, Jones Pass, and Steamboat but could be Vail etc too.
If you're looking for lift served Steamboat is prob the best bet, although you could go...

I was up at Berthoud Tuesday as well. Snow quality was good and mostly keeping one off the bottom. Stability with as thin as it still is is suspect. Under layers varying between surface...

I'm worried. Yes they lost but both the 2011 and 2012 years they had loses. You have to look at single loses for Alabama like that splinter that you feel like you've pulled out but easily could...

Hot, hot in town yesterday good for higher altitude turns on the hard old snow

Any one been on snow the past couple of days? Is it worthwhile or just a pile of wet, sloppy, sticky, slow , slide-y, slushie?

No I just did a few of the shorts shots at Iceberg pass and the south facing run same lot as Sundance

Mushy and sticky at trailridge yesterday

Just back from Sawatch. Missouri & Belford

Well above treeline North powder and West and South and near treeline north is Corn. Great freeze Friday night and good freeze Sat night

Below and...

^^^
One of those paths slid on Monday too and closed the road for a little while.

If saying that "it's over" will make it go corn, then I say it's over, done, finished, putting storage wax on...

Above treeline was good, below not so much.

Yeah, count me concerned. If we could get a really hard freeze it would at least reduce the mid pack potential. At Indy pass yesterday stuff was sluffing when warmed with just a few minutes of...

That first photo is not from the Berthoud slide, it's from a slide last week on Sopris which was a wet slab Verus this which sounds like was a new snow wind slab.

Fack the dust

The wolf creek NOAA forecast is ridiculous at 70-100" through Monday

You could just look at the 24 hr snow totals on the front page of the CAIC web site under "Snowfall"

There's some powder if you're willing to drive. Never Summers got a good 8-10" Saturday night/ Sunday

NOAA is forecasting 3-7" through Saturday for Loveland Pass

Over forecasting?
