Thanks all. Sounds like best to pass for now.

How does one get high res images from just a day prior?

The Sentinel satellite takes images every ~5 days. I use caltopo premium to view it but you can also use sentinel-hub which is free but a little harder to use and I don’t think you can layer topos there. And it’s ‘lucky’ that a) the satellite came by yesterday and b) there wasn’t cloud cover on Jones.

Hi Guys, how is Eldora typically on Thanksgiving Day morning for crowds and liftlines? Considering taking my 5 and 8 year old girls there who are ready for some blues after lapping greens all day yesterday at Winter Park.

I’ll answer my question. Crowds were not an issue at all. It seems max crowds were right at open to 11:00 but manageable for early season. After that just a handful of people in the lift corral. We stopped in west wing and were the only people in there, not a single concession was sold from what I could tell. Snow was what you’d expect. My girls were stoked to only ski blues. Needs to snow.

Thanksgiving Day is a go at Eldora for future reference. Thanks for reading my blog brought to you by Solo Stove.

got the feelings of a total bust for the mountains of the summit county area for this storm. maybe in another week.

copper was a total shit show wednesday afternoon, but flyer opens at some point today they are saying so early next week I am hoping for chill crowds and nice cruisers.

Went to southern ut to avoid the snow. We got six inches this morning. Haha

Angry Inch in Denver. Smooth sailing with no issues or crowds at DIA flying out east last Sunday and back in today. I’ll fucking take it.

22” so far at Wolf Creek

[blazes_boylan]

The way is was explained to me was that when Winter Park got a new CEO 7ish years ago, there was an internal conversation about what was and was not on the table for changes at the ski area. The, "if you do that they'll fucking kill you" list was something like:

Close Pep's
Develop The Jane
Pay parking at The Jane
Replace the C Chair

Wondering how this BS will be received:

Good to see the price of the daily lunch special at Wolf Creek stayed the same. Looks like they reduced the size of the desserts by 10%.

[Rideski]

Yeah but they gave you a role.

[BFD]

Lol missed that.

How is the mountain skiing? Website says 60% open and thinking of making a trip to get off the groomers.

[BFD]

its been good i have been getting off the groomers to hit fresh on the sides of runs. Have not ventured into the trees. Alberta is supposed to open today and I imagine he will open the entire mountain. Skied The little face on Treasure a few times yesterday. Clipped a few too many rocks so moved on. I dont think I would ski anything off any of the hikes yet. May go up in awhile but not sure if I want to push my luck in the number chutes but I imagine the meadow sections after the steep pitches will be pretty fun. I would wait till after the next storms but I did talk to a guy from Empire in the lot and he was smiling.

[Danno]

anyone heading from Boulder County to Silverthorne/Dillon sometime soon and can transport something? I have a cargo area mat to get to Name Redacted, it's light and sort of foldable but might not fit if you drive a sports car.

Bumping this now that the holiday is over and I'm more able to try to get this to NR.

I will happily pay some quality alcoholic beverages to anyone who wants to drive them up!

[ASmileyFace]

I'll be driving through from Lafayette back to Silverton late next week (8th or 9th), but might have a completely full truck of stuff for work. If you haven't found someone by then PM me.

was fun to have light crowds at copper today and be able to open up the throttle a bit. andy's encore looks about ready.

Sweet blog. Might have better luck asking about Eldora in the Eldora thread next time... https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...ead.php/323535

I wished the snow was a little less firm and there was more terrain, but it was a perfectly beautiful day. Snow guns full on. A patroller chatted about the difficulty of running a rig down ptarmigan, can you imagine? I did one run on it a week ago, bulletproof same as ever, but now super b is running and there's a decision to make. Maybe I'll wait for Hallelujah or at least the next storm...

Most likely heading up this weekend and if not this weekend then definitely the weekend following. Let me know if interested.
