Colder than the last few storms, should mean bigger snow totals. Been falling as snow all day at my house (7100') last few storms were rain at my elevation. Had a lull midday but has been going pretty hard the last few hours.

Imagine Purg and WC will be solid tomorrow. Telluride looks like they are getting the shaft so far.

Storms last week seemed to go further south than expected. Rain around Durango, blue skies in Silverton. For what that's worth.

Hope you are right on colder temps. 6” of heavy, wet is not my idea of snow removal bliss this evening after a much lighter dawn patrol xc tour. Especially if we do get 2 or 3’. I was told to expect the possibility of 80 mph wind gusts Wed.

The radar really cleared out but looks like another wave coming through around 2am. Fingers crossed.

sorry, not in the budget

**MakersTeleMark** · 03-21-2023, 07:32 PM

I like the taxpayer bull bar that they saved at least. Very effective use of funds.

It's like I70things redux.

Neither is this lane, apparently.

Welp we are snowed in once again. Snowed probably 6" in the last 3 hours in town. Silverton Mountain won't even open tomorrow due to the rising danger closing the road to the mountain. See ya after the storm ya'll!

This makes me happy except for the fact that there will be at least 3 more fatalities before we close out this season. Mr. Greene, I wouldn't want your job. It's like a Tarantino movie at this point, and mister pink is not the culprit.

That is the feeling of the next one who tempts the cuntress. Be forewarned.

The Broncos Derek Wolfe on Rogan, talking about hunting and killing this enormous mountain lion in Grant, CO. Crazy.

This is how I feel about the Colorado Snowpack:

I can kill you, I can kill you, with dat one gaze, you are done. Contempt. An oft missed secret of pain. There is that real degradation of the risk. You are nothing. You are nothing. 3:12. You can learn a lot about not dying in avi terrain right there. The fact is we have a erotic desire that we want to sustain. Nothing more, nothing less. And brain chemistry plays a hudge part of that.

Raining, super saturated deep snow, roof & avalanches, power fluctuations high winds, followed by big temperature drop. What could possibly go wrong?

Real nice skiing yesterday, however. Especially since all of the locals left for Mexico for spring break.

Dropped the wife off at the Montrose airport this morning the drive back to Gunnison was pretty sketchy. The good news is I am going to play bachelor for the next 5 days and it is dumping at CB. Probably going to get a whole more turns in than honey dos.
