Did they gouge them on the...

I was in Granby with the fam this weekend. Writing was on the wall that Berthoud wasn’t opening so 4:45am departure through Byers - Kremmling - Silverthorne.

9 north was about as sketchy as I’ve...

Bumping these up. Still available.

Have an ABS pack that I don’t use anymore. Just don’t get rad enough at my advanced age to need it (hopefully).

It’s the original Vario system and included is the base unit, 15L ABS zip-on, and...

Couldn’t really believe this deal when I saw it… Mint 195 Rossignol S7s w/ Pivot 18s for $195 down at Sports Plus in Denver. I won’t ship them, but if a mag needs me to grab them and then arrange...

Only 1.5 hours back to Denver from the basin at 2:45pm, which to me is a big win. And also smooth sailing up at 8:30. This weekend was weird.

Been glad to be training for the Grand Traverse. Only going Westbound at 5am before work or after 11am on the weekends.

Surprised by that. He left Highlands at 5:45 and pulled into Breck at 9:05. Maybe he was giving himself a little credit on the departure time…

Got some long distance GT training to do out of...

Buddy left his house in west Denver at 5:45. Still not to Idaho Springs.

Thanks! Looking for stuff in the Backland Carbon / Scarpa F1 LT realm and found CC to have the most options in that range thus far.

Also, where should I be going for a good skimo-ish boot fit/purchase? Cripple Creek? Wilderness Exchange? Make the trip to Mountain Outfitters in Breck?

Is Highpoint Weather done? Last post was 12/26.

Please tell me you’re staying up there and didn’t drive 2.5 hours round trip for three runs.

Looking to pick up a lighter ski/binding setup (either mounted or unmounted) for the Grand Traverse. Skis in the 78-85ish waist range and 170-178 in length. Bindings 300g or less.

Anybody...

Just make sure you open the hood when you change the wiper blades. I thought they would hold upright long enough to swap them, only to have the metal hook slam back down onto the windshield and crack...

I agree!

I also wonder how many people bought epic (or other) passes and added on Abasin, so they’re splitting days at other resorts. I could also see Abasin going $100 higher per pass next year...

Anybody secretly nervous about the lack of crowds at ABasin? I just hope that they’re still getting enough $ from the Ikon partnership and higher priced season passes to make up for what appears to...

Haha I found this out about a decade ago and when I went to return something I had bought in Denver and they couldn’t accept the return.

I also like how this is somehow surprising. Why do you...

Just drove over Vail pass westbound and was about to say how it will be closed shortly, only to notice on Twitter that it closed 3 minutes ago.

Forecast no, but the fluff around it trying to make it sound better than it actually is? Absolutely.

I feel like I’m reading one of those recipe blogs when I read the Colorado Daily Snow. You...

In previous years you could sign up for the passes in advance of access opening. Seems like this year they’re waiting for it to open to issue passes.

I know it’s not open yet, but are they still doing uphill access passes? Didn’t see the usual sign-up on the website. Can you just go without one now (once open)?

Selling a pair of 189cm carbon DPS Wailer 112s. Brand new - still in the plastic. Just don’t fit into the quiver and trying to raise funds for additional gear I need for the Grand Traverse next...

Thanks everybody for all the great info. Will definitely look into a new setup, but probably (out of stubbornness) will end up going a little heavier than full skimo so that I can at least use it...

So I finally pulled the trigger on a Grand Traverse registration this year. Won't be racing to place high, just going out with a goal of finishing. I have extensive backcountry experience, but most...

What do mean regarding Ikon? Still only 7-days for the full pass and 5-days for the base pass, correct? Is the no blackouts for the full Ikon holders a change from this season?

285 was closed for most of the afternoon and sounds like a lot of people coming from that direction ended up on 70. Sure that didn’t help things.

Noob question - but where do people stay during these multiple day LCC interlodges? If travelers/skiers get stuck during the closure, are the lodges required to open rooms to them? Do they have to...
