Looks to be snowing hard in summit but the radar shows it ending soon if the wind doesn't shift.

I had the weekday last year and regretted not having the full pass. It was worth it this year.

FYI:" There may only be 14 more full days of skiing left up here at Purg, but they'll sure be quality! We've gotten a record-breaking 366" so far this season and more than 25" in the OpenSnow forecast!

Did you know that with your 23/24 season pass, you can come up and take advantage of the incredible spring conditions right away? Yep! You don’t have to wait until next season to get out on the slopes -your pass is ready to use immediately."

Got the okay to get a Silverton unguided pass for next year, and the wife is planning to downgrade to a Fridays only pass, so don't think I'll be upgrading. Worth a thought in a year like this, though...

And yeah, Purgatory has no sustained fall line, particularly without 5 open most weekdays, but whatever, gonna be an awesome San Juan spring in the bc.

When spring comes to a mountain town and all the mountain men advance from their winter womenless caves of heavy drinking and good times. To celebrate conquering yet another dark and cold winter in hopes of seeing a bikini clad mountain woman, with broad shoulders and flowing hair as she descends a ski slope of virgin white snow. You, wondering where your place is in line and she is reminded yet again that the odds are good, but the goods are odd. Like a breath of fresh air, the soon to come summer sun brings a new day, and a new season on us all.

This beautiful post did not go unnoticed.

Purgatory has fabulous stair step terrain!

(something like that was in their promo materials at some point in the 90s, maybe still is)

Combine blind headwalls, crisscrossing & funneling trails with people ripping with tunnel vision from all directions and out of the trees, keep your head on a swivel at all times.

When my son was young and just learning, I felt safer taking him to Telluride. Then season passes for kids were $75-$125 for almost 10 years.

When real young, I took him to Silverton and Kendall Mtn.

Tbar didn't even open here in breck, lift tower mechanical and they couldn't even work on it with the wind. It's gonna be deep up there what's loaded up

[smmokan]

they can have the blown out wash boarded shuttled to hell trails in eagle
they were good once

Ha, you're not riding the right trails. There's a lot of super fun stuff in Eagle, and most of it isn't on the east side above town.

Front range fire season in effect. Nastiest wind since Superior caught on fire

[goldenboy]

Wow, talk about finishing strong. Today was about the 38th day I said "best day of the year". There were better, but man it was good...

[BFD]

That pretty much summed up wolf creek today. 10" on a 160" base. Probably as good as this place can ski. Amazing they were running the snowcat for maybe a dozen riders.

I didn't start skiing until 1:30 today, but damn did I have some good turns. Tomorrow morning should be awesome!

Rumor is that Steamboat closed Pony Express for the season due to staffing. It was closed today. Trying to figure out if it’s gonna open tomorrow.

Anyone have any info?

[chicken feathers]

^ fairly certain that’s correct. I think they had a sign up last weekend saying it was closing for the season.

[bamboocoreONLY]

busy day in Breck but hot dog it was good up high.

Buddy said he got to the basin at 8:30 and was turned around. Gotta love gaper day, where the lots are full and no one is skiing. cool

[Leshphilling77]

Heard a guy in the lift line say that like 7 people in his crew didn’t even bring gear. Makes me not feel bad about driving solo for pre work turns.

Both Pony and BarUE closed for the season on March 26th.

Here comes the wind... Good bye beautiful alpine pow

Windy AF at my house this morning, but the basin seemed to not be windy at all. Glorious day up there.

[goldenboy]

Heck of a closing day. Vail sucks. Off to Utah, I guess.

Hardly enough snow to stay open.

Let me know if you swing down to the Juans at all this spring!

Saw this online: a large pack of mtn lions roaming around Silverthorne, caught on a video doorbell [emoji15][emoji15]
