**montanaskier** · 04-03-2009, 11:54 AM

shit is all shut down, E and W. I personally expect a lull this afternoon, but tonight it is gonna get ugly again. Atmosphere is just so prime.

said on the news that it reopened.

I can see the cars still stopped on e bound at the Eagle Vail exit. The daily said it's closed both ways all the way to East Vail.

It's already snowed 10 at the top of Vail.

Looks like some afternoon turns at the beav are in order!

**alldownhill** · 04-03-2009, 12:05 PM

I70 WB back open at Georgtown, Eisenhower Tunnel, and Vail pass.

LL pass still closed

**Rontele** · 04-03-2009, 12:14 PM

DEN/BOU radar easing up a bit.

**pappag** · 04-03-2009, 12:33 PM

If only there was space left. But I'll settle for 7 laps of 700 vert.

5" here. The sun came out for about 10 minutes and it went to crap. Looks like the real storm is coming tonight though.

**montanaskier** · 04-03-2009, 02:03 PM

sun out in Edwards and instantly SLOPPY.

Z · 04-03-2009, 02:48 PM

wow. where did today come from?

no sun here.

**nikster140** · 04-03-2009, 02:53 PM

Yeah I don't know what anyone's talking about. Maybe the faceshots were a little heavier at the end of the day? But I was out until 2 and it was one of the sickest, emptiest days yet at the beav.

**montanaskier** · 04-03-2009, 03:01 PM

weird day, I went home to check on the dogs, it was 31 degrees and nuking in Edwards. That was at 2, now it is bluebird and 45 at the same spot.

**smmokan** · 04-03-2009, 05:22 PM

Skied A-Basin until close and was the last one down Zuma at around 3:30... about 8" of creamy pow, virtually untracked. I couldn't believe how many people weren't there. Tomorrow and Sunday back there should be really damn good.

Hasn't been snowing in Summit since about 1:00 or so.

**fish** · 04-03-2009, 05:56 PM

everyone was at keystone... tracked out so fast

**funkendrenchman** · 04-03-2009, 06:02 PM

We're in the yellow on the radar, but no snow yet.

**goldenboy** · 04-03-2009, 06:17 PM

Today was so fucking good, skied some lines I haven't hit since last year. the sky is BROWN right now, I guess that will be dust layer #3 for this spring

If you haven't made it to CB this year and keep saying you will, get in your car now, it will be worth it in a big way.

Snowing big fat flakes of dirt. Took 2 weeks to cover up the dust layer and hear it comes again. It better dump big tonight.

**Blurred** · 04-03-2009, 06:59 PM

You guys are really getting another dust layer? Weird.

**Rideski** · 04-03-2009, 08:56 PM

Yes, I completely understand this is not the most accurate forecast, and even less so since they changed from 6 hour predictions to 24 hour, but still.
