Hoping this storm can hold off till after the lifts close today! Yesterday was so nice out.

They monitor conditions and don’t close it till it is warranted i guess. I think they dig over at a spot at the top of the face to see if water is running under the snowpack too. I pretty much stop...

Yesterday east was 100% open till 2:45. I skied vertical cornice and hiked willie’s to booger ramp. Pali was open till 3:30. I’ve ridden Chihuahua Marjory 20-30 times (even hiked the trench as a...

East wall was incredible today… again.

That's cool, but $119 is pretty steep for those tiny things. I just drove through yesterday. Are those big geodesic dome things rentals?

Love that area though, I'll probably haul the camper...

I randomly was in the exact same place as i was for the last eclipse in Twin Lakes driving back from down south.

Wait, you guys are doing that too? I thought I was the only one. We should hang out!

Found some deepness on the East wall in the West Vert Cornice, and some other nooks and crannies around the Pali side. Nothing to write home about but it was fun.

Why cant they just charge more for lift tickets again?

Dude, you are so fucked!

They can always extend if they want/can. But visitation drop significantly after easter, no matter when easter ends. Pretty good business decision to just concentrate the masses to one resort....

Keystone Closing day is 4/7. Early Easter this year.

These too:
April 7: Aspen Highlands, Cooper, Crested Butte, Powderhorn, Telluride, Wolf Creek

Dude, you know they Keystone homeowners are gonna but fucking nuts once anyone gives them any power whatsoever right? Didn't they make it possible for second homeowners to vote? Yeah, good luck...

And Keystone is better? Haha 😜

The biggest loss is Acafe. Been going to that place forever. It was the spot for the locals. Losing a lot of local spots these days. Sad.

Yes. Cant read the article, but they approved a scaled down version recently. Im skeptical of letting one developer redevelop so much of the town.

Fuck yeah. I am in Silverton and it has yet to hit. Weird. Glad the basin is getting it. Still dreaming of east wall.

Sig worthy

Ha. Ok

At the area? Or town? Either way. Ill be around for a few days. Camping somewhere. Solo. So im down for beers with people if the opportunity arises.

If thats all it takes to fire up the Silverton locals then they are pretty soft 😛

Headed down to Silverton tomorrow night. Hit me up if anyone wants to ski (the ski area). Ill be down till thursday or friday depending on conditions.

By the bag full.

Hit us up! If im around ill ski with ya. Arapahoe basin anyway.

Haha luv it. I only bike out of my garage and the occasional west slope trip. I live on the frange for a while and still drive to the mountains to bike.

Basin was too! No lines on Pali, steeps were $$$. Weird upside down wind layer from previous day was gone and covered by fresh. Got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runs down steep gullies. Fun stuff.

haha, "ass" huh huh.

Saw dust on the white Cadillac Escalade parked next to me at the basin. Think I'm just gonna kill myself because the season is over.

I was just trying to figure out how I could get out of plowing the driveway till this afternoon.

Noice!

But Pali???

Probably headed up manana if i dont get called into work at the mine.

Yup. I mean, if they are into anything outdoors thats cool, idgaf and dont judge. But if you are gonna bitch and try to escape winter, why the fuck would you live at 9k’ in the rockies? It kinda...

Yeah, those kind of people are everywhere up here. Never understood it.

Yet my neighbors have been driving 2 hrs away to get marginal mountain biking because they are "over" winter. Never understood that shit.

Storm is a dud? Where's my 1-2'?!?!

ETA: well shit, nice of it to show up. Full on whiteout at the house now. Wind like this could put a damper on lifts today.

Yeah, way to make a comeback. Get back on the horse. What lift is that?

Damn! Two week ski trip, supposed to be back to work today. Worked half day and just had to blow it off to get out. Basin skied about as good as it gets. Beautiful snow, sun, and company. Legs...

They already attacked a dog in Keystone Ranch last week. Seems like a lot of cat attacks this year for some reason.

So far…

Don't remember the last day I went bell to bell but I did it yesterday. 50/50 snowboard and ski. Tired today, but now I have to ski keystone with the fam. ugh.

Some guy named Seth who does a pretty good weather report said the same.

I heard it was just supposed to rain all weekend. RIP winter

I was telling my buddy to watch out for the hudge bumps at the top of Pali and he thought I was being a smartass till he proceeded to blow up trying to ski the cornice. Haha. Good times

Ha, I had the same thought. Buff out the Spine!!!

I went up around noon to get my credit card that I left at the bar last week. Didn’t ski. It looked pretty busy and signs said all lots were full.

I also drive to Breckenridge for a massage at...

Nice, I’ll be on a hut trip. Ha

Yeah, the Basin parking lot wasn't even half full when I got there at 10a. Skied onto the lift all morning. Lots of stupidity happening on the roads around the county yesterday though. ugh!

Is...

Abasin passes have three extra days at Monarch, but I just found out that those are blacked out on weekends till March. This seems to be a new thing, maybe I'm wrong, but WTF? I don't remember this...

Saw a small slide go across the road on my way up to the basin. Deep day and not very many people. Pulled in at 10am and got a beach spot!

Yeah, they are talking about all kinds of new amenities like a food truck and an upgrading the toilets! They probably groom Tiger all the time and become a Bogner dealer.
