Yeah, fuck bikes til June.
Hard to believe that just over a week ago we had the best conditions of the year. Now it's hard to imagine skiing anything other than corn. The amount of snowmelt in the past few days is insane, and it's not like there was a deep base to begin with. Hopefully one more big storm cycle comes through to prolong spring skiing.

I ended up getting my Enduro shred on in the front range. Quiet dry technical trails while everyone is in Moab and Fruita.

I'm more into the backpacking + high lakes fly fishing scene, but yeah, fuck that stuff until June.
Sangre's Colony Lake SNOTEL showing 60", right in line with some snowier sites in the San Juans and Flat Tops, so some of you may get some choice spring lines down there after all.
Mini rant - RMNP seems to have hit peak clusterfuck. Much of the west side and northern zones are fucked after Cameron Peak and East Troublesome. Timed access permits starting next month. Lottery system for backcountry (missing a ton of sites after fires) for late summer and fall. Tons of hurdles!

Did you guys see that Japan has recorded the earliest cherry blossoms in 1200 years? I wonder if we are starting to go nonlinear with the global warming?

Started tearing my bike apart yesterday. New tires, bigger gas tank, grip warmers, usb power, turn signals, brush guard mounts, etc. gonna be a bit before it’s all done but can’t wait. Rode it up to the basin for a beer Saturday before ripping into it though. I’ll be dragging it to the FR or GJ/Moab in a few weeks though.

Whipski has kindly offered to bring a grill and charcoal/wood on Friday at 1pm, I would guess to Monarch's upper lot. Bring your own meat and beer or whatever. I'll probably bring something extra though so don't sweat it. Personally I like to ski 11-1 (crack-o-noon) so that works perfectly for me!

I was at Colony Lakes last week. snow was down to the first parking area. Probably no longer. We have plenty of snow and the alpine is good but getting through the woods to get to it conditions suck. Who wants to wear ski boots when it is 60* out. Rio Grande FS roads are great right now gates are closed and no one around. I think the single track is still wet some places been staying off. Other than the crowds was a good season in Wolf Creek.

Whip has a couple of comps if anybody needs a lift ticket.
I'd like to encourage people to check out Monarch. I was so impressed with the early season skiing, really fun not to be stuck on crowded groomers. Also, they cleared out beetle kill recently and opened up a lot of nicely pitched terrain.Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

First, it was a joke. And I'll admit that I don't know Monarch super well and what you say is true of Mirkwood, Eldora has nothing like that, but overall Monarch isn't very big or very steep and IME the two are actually pretty comparable from a terrain POV. I don't think Monarch has anything as good as Salto, as one example, unless you hike. I will certainly grant you the management, never thought to include that in my joke but no argument here. Lord knows I have been a frequent critic of Eldora over the years.
Again, it was a joke, because EWG skis Eldora a lot and I have skied there with him.

For a small vert and acreage hill, Monarch hits above its weight class. I dig that place.
Eldora does too, but only if you have listed as a strawweight.

If you are really arguing over whether Monarch or Eldora is better, you probably play golf at municipal courses, drive a Chevy cavalier, and listen to Winger. Just sayin. NTTATWWT.
But I like em both.
