I thought it was powder skiing season

High and shady is good.

Fun day. We also did a massive butt naked run down the east wall at 3ish. About 20 of us guys and 3 chicks. A little tribute to Shane. Patrol's thoughts on it? "That was so awesome, but never do it again." ABasin is rad. @shredwithboyzclub had a video up but instagram didn't like it very much.

Sick day up in a sick zone, unfortunately dropped into this about 2 hours too early, scary firm, but I was able to hold on, barely, right down to the lake, madsasketchawan.

Any updates from Breck or Vail lately? Heading up there with the family next few days, hoping to hit some back bowls, upper bowls, lake chutes, front side, back side, groomers, whatever. I'm expecting 2-4" of new on top of a death sheet of ice.

Straight spring slush for a couple of weeks. Dirt spots popping up. Once we get snow, if it isn't a ton, gonna be terribly firm for a bit.

Go to Breck and stay high, in more ways than one.

**The SnowShow** · 03-24-2017, 06:28 AM

**wolfelot** · 03-24-2017, 07:18 AM

Steamboat got snubbed. Any on the ground reports of conditions there?

I'm heading up early tomorrow AM and skiing Sat/Sun.

**simple** · 03-24-2017, 09:16 AM

Steamboat melted out. People are on the river in swimsuits

**fastfred** · 03-24-2017, 09:57 AM

Heard steamboat is doing 49.00 lift tickets cause things are that bad

**The SnowShow** · 03-24-2017, 12:10 PM

If you're going to ski 2" of powder on top of frozen death coral reef, you're gonna have a bad time.

If you are a shitty skier that is. I've had a great time every day this week. This morning wasn't the best but it was still fun if you knew where to go. As my FIL who has been skiing for 40 years likes to say: "You ain't the shit till you can ski the shit".

**summit** · 03-24-2017, 12:20 PM

There is good snow, and snow that is good for you.

No, the skiing sucks. The mountain biking is going to be fucking awesome this weekend after the rain down here though, everyone should definitely stay in Denver.
