So... Bets on which project is finished first- this bridge or the canyon? [emoji1787]

-- there is some great camping tucked away under some cool rock formations, etc.

Snowaddict, at least they didn't close 50 mid winter, ha. Who knows how long it will be, but it's sounding kind of...

As long as Hernando's exists it'll be ok.

Agreed! The terrain is sick, the aspects are ideal, and the slow chairs blissfully preserve the powder.

The mountaineering museum is pretty cool IMO. Or tour Coors

Over 30, there was even an avy death in Roosters many decades ago. So, sufficiently gnar :D

Roosters is accessed from the bottom of the Teo chair, Ptarmagin gate is at the bottom of lower Gallowich. Both lead to the same traverse back to the East River chair.

Shoutout to our new snow safety director who took it upon herself to open new, never before opened terrain in Crested Butte. It won't be my new go-to, but new terrain is cool no matter...

Yeah, really bad dust event here in CB. Wish we'd go 1 spring without it

Pretty much dead calm, but it's supposed to get windy again later. I just checked PHQ and they're only getting gusts to 16 up there. It might be a weird day as warm as it's been, going to have to...

If you told me Montrose got 10, I'd say Cb would have 30, not 8. Ha. I wonder if Ouray got a Gorge event or if Cerro got nailed.

Given the wind, I'd say the "up to 30"" near CB is more like minus 6"

Damn. I had so much fun skiing Teo2. Got home, cracked a beer, started watching the game with chips and salsa. Hopefully SF wins. Made a kick ass batch of chili in the morning. Seemed very much...

FKNA! For only the 4th time ever, we get Teo2! Decent turns at 3:15, gave it an old school TGR point-https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240211/c538330776d83c0990960b81d73b2812.jpg

I officially dub this storm Dudley McDudster.

Still primo chalk conditions on the steeps here, you even get a bit of sluff going with you.

Could be worse, that's for sure. Not just warm but pissing rain in BC and other places...

5* chalk on the steeps in CB, it's about as good as it gets without new snow. But I want new snow.

CBAC bumped the danger up today due to the heat- I don't think I've seen that in January before.

^^ Hard as it is to believe, lots of "stolen skis" are just people too stupid to know what skis they're actually on. At least they figure it out with 2 different skis.

They really did buy a drone to get better views of slides this season, ha!

CBAC bringing their strong game, as always.

Could be! I took my time getting out since my goal was getting the opening. It was still pretty good on lap 4.

Country club again today, and a 10/10 Phoenix Spellbound opening. I'm spent.

Same in CB, absolutely no one out despite primo conditions.

It faces mostly S and E so the snow quality is often meh IMO and the terrain is barely better than Keystone. That said Salida is super cool and Monarch has a great vibe and isn't owned by either of...

What’s crazy to me is how many people still want to ski Monarch.

I kid, I kid, but not really :)

When I was 13 or 14, traffic stopped on my way to the comp center. My buddy and I walked up the road and were promptly handed a probe to do a probe line on the highway at Stanley. There were no...

Bit warmer than yesterday, definitely not cold enough to wear a buff. Nice to do headwall laps all day.

Finally got a T bar open in CB. +15 and a light breeze, no big deal on the weather front over here.

So, since Saban retired are we about to have a record year? Or at least no more bad years? Or is it only tied to Bama?

It wasn't that cold or windy today but we need like 20' of snow.

That sounds like a wise work decision

Yeah, shitty stormtrack and way too cold. Maybe another steamboat storm but I'm not hopeful at all. Hope I'm wrong

What is this snow thing you all speak of?

The way Christmas day shaked out, a lot of schools are still on break, including TX. Normally they're all gone the day after New Year's.

I had some of the tastiest lemonade I've ever had today....

Even the CBAC got into it this morning: "According to rigorous barstool statistics, there is a strong correlation between Alabama winning the college football championship and Colorado experiencing a...

Yeah. And to be honest, the skiing today was actually pretty good. Those same things that make the CO snowpack so sketch also make it decent in low tide. Carveable chalk isn't that bad.
...

It's pretty wild how good last season was almost everywhere, and how bad this one is almost everywhere. It's not like a road trip to Jackson, LCC, Tahoe, or BC would do you any good. Flying to AK...

As bad as it is, at least it isn't Hesperus bad for most of us. Hope they can get their lift running again next season.

You're making me so excited to spend new year's down there, ha.

Will I70 still be a shitshow in the middle of the day tomorrow? I'm seeing gusts to 60 on 285, so I might be forced to take 70.

I thought CB was thin until I drove through summit today, it looks grim there. Sure hope a Christmas miracle changes things for everyone.

The ice was rad though. Good ice is far more rare than...

1st day of winter and the snow is getting slushy at the base area

If you break through and swim, people say you got your duck patch (though you don't get an actual patch, ha). We could use a similar saying in backcountry skiing, like if you take a ride you get a...

Switching subjects, any "wild ice" skaters on here? I hear Twin Lakes is skating well right now, I was thinking of skating there on Friday on my way home to Golden for Christmas. I have a throw...

CB is actually skiing pretty fun right now, at least for the weirdos like me who get a kick out of skiing steeps that are 50% rock/tree and 50% snow. Such a challenge to piece together a flowy run. ...

They opened parts of west wall and horseshoe yesterday. It was fun getting on something steep.

Just for context, those little trees are where he fell.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231215/67b1d6c7b7c895b8aa0fc95b3cc338b6.jpg

That's really cool. I think it's a lot easier to go to a beacon park and stay sharp vs trying to remember first aid. I wish there was an easier way. A slide deck app that you could play with on the...
