    Yes. There's a gate straight ahead of you when you get off the lift. It is sometimes closed. The whole zone is called Stagecoach Trees, but that mostly refers to more skiers right. Pro tip - don't get suckered into the aspens. You will hit rocks.

    Generally yes but we don't talk about VR Trees. We are on our 2nd mudseason at my house at 8400. But the fucking off in the snow has been great and it will be great again. I bounce to Colombia tonight so hopefully the high pressure follows me and I can leave the planet for a while.

    Last week was nice but now we are back to "What winter?" mode. Gunna set heat records this week. Town is melting out again. Having half a dozen mud season's a winter is gunna be rough moving forward.

    N facing in the alpine is still holding strong. East Wall has been tits. Not losing a ton of snow on the mountains around Summit yet. Winds have kept it pretty cool. Would love to see a few more rounds of snow though. Debating a desert trip next weekend though. 70F is enticing for the braaap machine.

    60s in Denver two weeks ago, then a real winter week last week, now back to 60s/70 this whole week, in Feb. New normal I guess.

    Spicy ride home from DIA last night after being in Ketchum visiting a friend and skiing. Had a cold come on hard and fast while traveling yesterday and couldn’t get out of bed this morning to go ski it. Was very heavy to shovel just a bit ago after letting it just sit there all day

    Copper is skiing so well right now. Another sixteen inches over the past two days. Heavier powder from this storm system vs two weeks ago but at least it was very surfy.

    Anyone know what weak layer they're talking about in the forecast? I would have thought facets on sun crust but they're saying north aspects? Surface hoar or facets on meltfreeze maybe? Pretty odd to get a weak layer just below a storm layer on north facing this time of year. I wish the forecast provided a bit more detail. I used to know all this by being out there so much haha, kids man.

    Nevermind, looks like SIGNIFICANT faceting of a large chunk of the upper pack. Wild.
