boo hoo
all about choices people chose to live on the street when they don't address their drug alcohol and mental health issues

Shit comment FF, do better.

Friday chilled me for the whole weekend. I’ll pass for Thursday . The 5” of grabby chalk should ride great !

Wouldn't be surprised to see a number of lifts on cold hold on Thursday. Some (most?) areas shut down lifts if wind chill reaches a certain number (based on how long it takes to ride and how long it might take to off-load if something went wrong.)

I would put money on Loveland not opening at all on Thursday (except maybe the Valley).

My kids' school in Aurora already sent an email stating that they will cancel school if the forecast holds.

I don't see what the big deal is here. I seem to remember whole weeks where it didn't get above freezing back in the 90's. Still went skiing. Gotta keep a flask of Rumplemintz in the jacket.

But yeah, I'll probably work and not ski Thursday.

above zero (F) and above freezing are two entirely different things.
It typically does not get above freezing in the winter above 11K feet in Colorado. Below zero temps are rare (in the places that people typically ski).

Yeah, I meant 0ºF.

There may have been days last week that were colder than what Thursday will be here. We got stuck on a chair for 30 minutes on our first run, and yeah, it was cold. To Vail's credit, we were greeted at the top with free 1 day tickets

They really know how to help out the passholders!

It's Vail, they could have just as easily handed out vouchers for hot chocolate. I figure it just means any of our Ikonic friends will just need to take us out for a nice dinner.

[bamboocoreONLY]

At least you got a free ticket voucher. Got stuck on a chair at copper last year and they only gave out 50% off vouchers, just gave it back to em.

Peak 8 and Bottle have been gusting over 90mph. You can watch the cold front move south on the weather apps.

[Danno]

I just drove through the front, I left Denver in mid 40s, single digits when I got to Lafayette.

[Soups]

Dropped 35° in 10min. Wild.

[smmokan]

50* at 3pm here this afternoon, and it was 0* by 5pm.

[Hott Butt Mud]

DAMN..... from NWS Boulder:

"Preliminary data at DIA shows the observed 37F temperature drop in 1 hour (42 to 5F) would be the biggest one hour drop in that ASOS history. "

Someone will blame it on "Climate Crisis."

[bamboocoreONLY]

My entire deck is a big snow ghost plastered with snow from this wind and cold. Guessing it's gonna be rough for openings out there but we'll give it a shot.

[cmsummit]

Consistent 90-100mph gusts recorded on Peaks 6 & 8 last night. Sitting this one out.

[Leshphilling77]

All lifts on wind hold at the basin. Can sneak out in the mornings before work but glad I didn’t really even consider it today. Frisco post office had zero line this morning so that was nice!

wtf is that supposed to mean? extreme weather events aren't related to the climate crisis? take a lap

[shera]

I guess it means he's a climate change denier.

...obviously single weather events can't be assigned to large scale inputs, only to the flapping of butterfly wings.

Don't get your panties in a wad. It was just a typical smartass TGR comment.

Mikey b, you know me better than that. I'm surprised at you. I guess, you've lost your sense of humor.
