Want to throw in that there wasn't a hard freeze here last night. Might need to be a little wary on the sunny pitches in the bc.

Second season is def a win.

So are you implying that Tahoe peeps are more fun than Summit peeps? What are you trying to say exactly? :the_finge

Oh where does the time go? Here's the story from that slide that changed everything: https://www.vaildaily.com/news/inbounds-avalanche-at-a-basin-kills-one/

The snow always got rotty there below...

Cool I'm glad you know that route, it's so nice.

About Pali, I mean they started closing it pretty early in the season due to it sliding wet, very very bad situation. But I wonder if they are...

Copper closes April 28 and I hope to head over there at some point. Are you hiking up, like narrow north pole, willies wide, notches? Around this time of year I would do a big loop, hike past all...

Thanks

oh man

Thanks! Lowest I could find was -7F Dec 25th. I thought we get down to -30 but maybe it's the climate change.

Anyway, it was so perfect on the ski hill today. Brisk. North facing was even chalky.

Does anybody know how I can find out the lowest temp last winter in my town?

Yeah, can't argue with that. And the sunny days will be needing time to thaw, mornings will be crunchy. Ha, I never ski full days anyway...probably head out tomorrow late morning and ski for a couple...

Not too much interest, hey?

I might be volunteering on the hill at the usasa nationals (big air,skiercross?) but I guess I can just post up whenever I'm planning to free ski. Maybe easy to meet on...

Bear track in the snow this morning in the back yard. Couldn't upload image for some reason.

Gorgeous day out there. Three bears down with mechanical problem.

I'm wondering if any of the Ikon people want to do a low key Copper ski day? Would be nice to put faces to some names...

Very cool, I always wanted to drink on that train.

I thought it was great! Just variable and I wasn't as clever as I would like, trying to tweak the powder plan. I admit I'm still doing a lot of exploring on Tucker - in the past I would just lap the...

Today was bittersweet, felt like saying goodbye to winter.

I made some mistakes on terrain choices, it was variable and tricky and I got tossed around a lot. When I finally found untracked and...

haha, same, but Loveland is convenient to to his purpose

yeah I would take Loveland over Keystone any day, there are ways to get a lift ticket

The chatter about bringing kids up to ski on Saturdays has got me thinking. I taught weekend kid's programs for many years and it was the most fun and satisfying to bring a group of kid's along that...

Last week was interesting. I went to the hill, put on ski boots five days in a row and taught my 5 year old grandson the pizza and the french fry. Hopefully he is hooked.

Yesterday back into the...

I'm kinda tired of shoveling. Thinking about just walking over it all with the snowshoes and packing it down.

So true! Thank you for the reminder. :)

I was skiing three bears terrain yesterday and took this pic. Pretty big slide over on the south facing side of Copper Bowl.

Yeah, surprising amount of snow on the ground here. I'm not skiing til tomorrow after meetings, sure it'll still be very nice out.

Just in case anybody missed it, some maggots are meeting up to ski at Monarch this Tuesday. Low key. Check out the Monarch thread in the general forum and come if you can/want. :)

I showed up late at Copper, still had plenty of turns with the snow banging up on my legs. My only gripe is that there was a line at Storm King and I have line aversion, therefore did not ski...

I can't ski again til Friday, leave me some powder. :D

Yeah Copper also skiing so great, so much fun, and beautiful weather.

I am the master of the obvious! :D

It felt kinda like country club today, but not in the good way. I mean like EVERYONE was so old, well me too, but that's not the point.

Sun exposed aspects...

I am also annoyed. Don't know why I want to pretend that Copper is somehow hidden in plain sight and the purchase will cause all the A Basin front rangers to be overrunning us, hahahahaha.

The...

Speaking of Cooper, it is now snowing nearby out my window. :)

That's great! Do you ski midweek? Are the kids old enough to cut loose or can they hang on black terrain yet? Doesn't matter, I'll go where ever. :)

Aaaand I'm quoting myself, haha. Just thinking about horseshoe bowl facing east, not north. But still chalky I bet?

I don't see any skis and the snow looks so far away.

Hey E, where do you ski these days? A Basin?

Anyway, above treeline north facing ftw, chalky steeps. Think horseshoe bowl at Breck...that's always fun.

I was gonna take my skis in for base...

I finally got away from my desk for some laps, the light was flat and I felt kinda dreary. Conditions were good though.

Nice update, ty. Nobody told them about the rule for staying on the high t. ;)

I hope to check out 3 bears or some other fun steeps, but also looking forward to skiing some bumps this week. We'll...

You made me miss Breck for a minute. Skied/worked so many days there.

Big fat snowflakes coming down.

Three Bears open today with rope drops! Go there! Ski it in, do your worst! :FIREdevil

Anything run by the watertower? Anybody ski that way this week? I know it's all nasty wetness by now...

I wandered around Copper yesterday, crack o' noon. Got routed into the overflow lot which turned out to be very nice and convenient. Who knew? Lifties did seem glum. Judging by the quality of the...

OMFG that is hilarious, and awesome. Pretty soon there'll be some article outing it as a "Colorado secret stash" or something stupid like that.

What's wrong with Monarch?

Very nice!

I grabbed this pic off fb. This is why I didn't go to the backside of Copper yesterday, I was guessing this kind of sh!tshow - once you're back there you're trapped.

ty :)

ffs, I actually stopped and took a picture for you people, did you see it there? the one that was super deep and untracked? :cool:
