As expected, the Basin was fucking glorious today. Wind is so good for that place.

Windy AF at Abasin too, but lots of wind-buffed goodness to be found. Beavers and Montezuma did did not spin.

Everything at Eldora was running. First real runs of the season. West Ridge was actually skiing really well, and Bryan glades was pretty good too.

So good to ski real terrain again, finally.

Hung out on berthoud pass with adrenalated. My face hurts.

What did he do to your face?

Missed the new snow working Saturday, but T ride was pretty alright today. Not deep, but starting to finally feel like we actually have a base.

He made me teach a bunch of cute women how to backcountry appropriately in a massive wind storm. Then he gave me a suitcase of Tommyknocker beer to stock the van with. I hate him

Did you get their numbers?

Adrenalated has all their info. FOBP should be a dating app. Front range singles looking for backcountry partners

One of the upsides of COVID? Previously FOBP seemed to be more of a backcountry punks and misfits rave. NTTAWWT

Same crew, different standards would be my guess.

That's still pretty accurate

**dub2** · 02-08-2021, 11:50 AM

Couple nice windbuff runs off chets this morning at LL before they shut everything except 2 down for wind. It's really picking back up again

The first couple back in 03 or 04 I think were 100% dudes.

The steeps at CB skied surprisingly decent today, all things considered. Wind was cranking but that meant smooth wind buff in the right spots.

Did anyone go to the basin today? Wondering if beavers/ Zuma opened today.

The marketing sent a different message though.

Can’t wait for better days to get back down there.

Should that just be a permanent sign? Except for the open part.

Sounds like everything but BMX shut down at noon. Not sure if zuma/Beavers opened at all. They were closed Sunday too.

**bamboocoreONLY** · 02-09-2021, 07:18 AM

Yesterday was one of those perfectly set up wind buff days off Tbar here in Breck. The carve-able soft mach speed wind buff of your dreams, both in horseshoe and even over on boundary chutes. Honestly with that and skiing right onto the lift every run, sometimes I almost prefer it over overhyped pow days haha
