Its early season and a blackout weekend. Might not be as bad as you'd think.

In early December a few years back about 12/8 or so around Birds of prey it had been snowing like this for a while and I kept my eye on the gate at elk elk and sure enough them boys dropped the rope and I slid over looked at the patroller rolling the rope up and he just pointed and smiled. 25 people place empty no one had been any where was unreal.

I noticed the day before they groomed the cream cheese and saw only two pairs of tracks from the cliff band down to the chair and sure enough next open.

So chance em' go early.

Ajax was great again. I love that we don't report on the eastern side of the mountain, so every time you drop into that aspect it's like a little gift.

Giving away your sleeper day secrets, eh?

[skiHOG]

The dreaded "R" word arrived. Was afraid of this.

[WTF is dat]

Where are you seeing rain?


Vail today was legit. Still lots of untracked in the back bowls and visibility was fine until it started dumping around 2. Snow was pretty heavy. Tomorrow will be legit on the usual aspects.

No crowds to speak of, despite Montanaskiers predictions.





Hot tub time.

^^^ how much of the Back Bowls are open? Hitting sharks?

Highlands bowl was great today. 60mph gusts on the ridge aside.

The Beav was fun but warm and wet. It was quiet too so that was good. Vis went to shit around 1. No rain but it's 36 on the floor currently. NWS has backed off totals a bit....not sure it'll get below freezing around 8k and below. Mountains should have some
Nice dense snow tomorrow!

[Hott Butt Mud]

A little bit on the warm side. It needs to cool down a few degrees if we want to get some real snow.

I heard Denver got stuck at Copper in traffic so wasn't crowded at Vail today. Also, haha, no sharks in the back bowls at Vail. I think there are only about 8 rocks to count there. Mostly just grass.

[WTF is dat]

^^^ how much of the Back Bowls are open? Hitting sharks?

Pretty much everything besides siberia bowl and Mongolia

[zartagen]

Blue sky tomorrow. If you're into that kinda thing. I'd just stay home and watch the broncos if I were you guys.

[montanaskier]

The high mountains around Summit should do the best with this warm air. Just not much going in Eagle Cty yet....colder air arrives later. BSB opening will be fun! Be safe fellas

[fastfred]

heavy wet snow 32 and dumping in summit should help fill things in nicely even though it's not real powder, more like east coast shit snow

[The SnowShow]

Be safe. The avy danger is going to go through the roof.

[WTF is dat]

Eagle county getting skunked so far

[Jay P]

fuck me Aspen is going to get nothing. motherfucking goddamnit

[cmsummit]

Keystone snow stake showing 11" so far. I just left Frisco and it was NUKING....not snowing much in Breck though.

[The SnowShow]

Keystone is the new Snowbird

[Summit]

Keystone for the win again!

[WTF is dat]

[Bronic]

[Crampedon]

Fixed it for ya, Joel's in our corner.

[Telemarketeer]

So 3" in Vail, 18" at the Basin. Discuss.

Was planning on going to Vail today, now probably sticking closer to home. Basin is going to be nuts, discount tix for their anniversary too.

[montanaskier]

That happens almost every time with warm pineapple storms like this. Stoked for ABasin and others. It's cleared out over here and should be wsrm nice day.

[Muggydude]

Think this is a good day to bring out the protests considering how heavy the snow is. Maybe should have brought my powderboards even.

Happy enough with the 10 inches here in steamboat considering it was lightly raining until about 11pm
