Good thing I recently got myself a kick-ass 650 down from Mountain Hardware.

From the 1:00 snow report, it looks like Vail/BC/Steamboat are getting the best of this storm.

**montanaskier** · 01-09-2008, 04:45 PM

where are these 1pm reports you speak of?

**encore** · 01-09-2008, 05:04 PM

I thought they updated at 2PM, not 1PM. Anyway....FYI

Wednesday 6AM report:

Abasin - 1"
Breck - 2"
Keystone - 2"
Vail - 5"
BC - 3"

Wednesday 2PM report:

Abasin - 1"
Breck - 3"
Keystone - 2"
Vail - 9"
BC - 9"

Come on MS, you don't know about these?

Coloradoski.com updates the snow totals between 12:30 and 2:00 every afternoon- as posted above, Vail and BC reported 9".

**montanaskier** · 01-09-2008, 05:34 PM

what a JONG I am, I didn't know about those, sweet something else for me to obsess over.

Yeah, something else to monitor. For example Vail got 9" at 2PM, so subtract 5" from 9" which equals 4". Check the snow report at 6AM and subtract the 4", so now you know approximately how much snow fell overnight (well at least from 2PM to 6AM)

You skiing tomorrow at Vail or BC? I'm going to check the weather report in the morning and make a decision. So far, no one to ski with.

**smmokan** · 01-09-2008, 06:20 PM

I may be heading up to Vail or BC if they report a bunch.... decision will be made in the morning. I'm thinking MS will be out for a few hours for sure.

**montanaskier** · 01-09-2008, 10:42 PM

yep, out for a few hours in the morning. Have to be down valley iin the afternooon. Khaki pants, grey coat with some orange. Red Helmet with "change for a nickel" sticker on front. Nordica Beasts more than likely.

**montanaskier** · 01-09-2008, 10:42 PM

and oh yeah, this storm had way more moisture than it looked like. Still snowing currently.

**funkendrenchman** · 01-10-2008, 10:49 AM

223" in Aspen so far according to my unofficial numbers.

**smmokan** · 01-10-2008, 11:17 AM

Wolf Creek.... 283" so far, and I'm pretty sure they started getting snow 5-6 weeks ago too. Sick. (obviously not my home hill though)

**goldenboy** · 01-10-2008, 07:23 PM

Crested Butte around 220ish. Clearly the best since 96/97.

Now if only Frank Coffey and the rest of ski patrol would just put something in that ballsack they carry around, we could ski the goods. (Had to vent- everyone's pretty pissed that Phoenix/Spellbound has been closed for a week, including some folks on patrol. Part of the problem is that most of the really good patrollers left a few years ago to make the big bucks as GC's and we're left with only a few who know what they're doing and a bunch of 20something year-olds who are pretty clueless)

**Kya** · 01-10-2008, 09:46 PM

Hey Frank, just storm that shit.....get it......storm.

**pappag** · 01-11-2008, 01:43 AM

Came through Loveland pass about an hour ago. Snow was coming down pretty nicely. I'd say tomorrow should be decent at A-Basin and LL.

**encore** · 01-11-2008, 02:10 PM

Friday

Resort 6AM 1PM
Basin 4" 4"
BC 4" 6"
Breck 3" 6"
Key 2" 6"
Vail 5" 10"
WP 4" 4"

**smmokan** · 01-11-2008, 06:14 PM

It was dumping most of the day at Loveland- especially hard when I left around 3:00.

**Rontele** · 01-14-2008, 08:24 AM

Hope you guys have some good cold weather gear because after this weekend...

**stupendous man** · 01-15-2008, 12:13 PM

**pdiddy** · 01-15-2008, 01:27 PM

^^^^^ My thoughts exactly.

**montanaskier** · 01-15-2008, 01:43 PM

For sure looks chilly the next couple of days. 3-5 of crazy low density snow tonight. Maybe a skiff more on Friday and maybe something more significant on Sun/Mon.

Maybe I should bust out the John Deere one piece for this weekends chilly temps.

I'd be surprised if 3-5 fell with these forecasted temps, it seems like it gets 'too cold to snow' sometimes.
