I mean, it did snow like 1-2 feet in the last few days so maybe we enjoy that before complaining about how there's nothing in the forecast?

But yeah, it'd be nice to get more, always is.

Fucking no snow in the forecast. Sucks.

[hatchgreenchile]

1-2' - it's getting deep out there. Minimal rocks will be drilled.
The ridiculously resilient ridge is returning - I'm embracing the butthurt ahead of schedule.

[blackalps]

Yes, Sunday and Monday. Rained Monday at the base. Basically two ways to get down rn.

lame. I'll stick with WC then.

How's the northside skiing? Still sharky?

[fastfred]

rumor mill says its all over after this weekend
the clown show up on the hill since "resturants are closed" is creating a mess just pushing people closer together in smaller spaces inside buildings

[Micol]

I haven't been up since the storm. @viva probably knows.

Inside what buildings? Are they all closed on the mountain?

So what are you hearing? A one month break in the action?

[goldenboy]

Fastfred, rumor mill for just Summit, or all CO resorts?

[Summit]

fastfred lay off the meth dude. nothing is closing yet

[fastfred]

I'm just helping spread rumors I hear around town plus this is the internet and everything I say on this forum is usually bull shit

But yeah heads are spinning summit is maxed out like Christmas w gapers the rules are so fucked can do this can't do this nothing is making sense what is ok what is not heard so many wacky stories this week it's crazy its cold out and southerners dont really like the cold

[Soups]

^^I will say there were a whole lotta cars heading west on 70 on my way back from Loveland 30min ago

[doebedoe]

Luv was complete shit show today. Frankly would like them to punt the racers and open up Lift 3 in the valley. Rather ski that than wait 30min in line with a bunch of bozos who can't wear a mask.

But at least the snow was soft and new skis go fast.

[Soups]

Holy shit. For sure. Going to be interesting on powder days there this year. But that'll be everywhere I guess

[Shredhead]

It was nice here.
The extra 100 miles is priceless.

30 min lines for WROD? Fuck.
A shitshow on Nov 25th? Powder days will be fucked.

Powder days at Luv will be fine once the place is open. Parking is the limiter there -- the problem is sunny day post storm, right before xgiving, not much open. Road up with several IKONers, WP and Copper passholders today.

So Feb/March when they finally get the ridge open?

[bamboocoreONLY]

Yeah the wife and I drove over there from Breck around 10 (had errands or woulda gone earlier) and turned around. Just waited til 1 and Breck wasn’t so bad. The singles lines are moving very fast since groups of two usually happen where they’d normally join solo with a bigger group on a normal year.

Ridge isn't opening this year. Not enough time to boot pack it.

Just about the longest lift lines I have ever experienced at loveland today. They had to add more lines to the maze to keep the line from extending all the way across to chair 2. Problem was that MOST of chairs went up with 1-2 people. I would like to see data on covid transmission on a ski lift wearing masks. My guess is that the risk is negligible. They fill the rows on airplanes for christs sake and there is data that says that is fine as long as people wear masks. FILL THE CHAIRS.

Upper Richards was nice.

It doesn't help that they don't even try to create a singles line that would allow people to join easier, easier meaning that lift ops could join them up instead of leaving it to the people. Like I said above, it's actually working pretty well in Breck, still busy at times but you're never actually waiting that long.

[glademaster]

I'm a little frustrated with the loooong days, witheringly intense sun and lack of precipitation.

At least I like my job and the place I'm living, but I think this will be my last foray south of the 45th parallel.

[wkd-rdr]

Rode Luv with the kids Tues afternoon. Snow was good, lines weren't bad. Gapers in full effect. My 8 year old kept asking why so many snowboarders were walking down the hill.
Because the drive from Texas made them tired, son.
