How is the skiing in Summit County Ohio anyways? I believe Vail Resorts' Boston Mills and Brandywine Ski Areas are in Summit County Ohio. I see on my Epic Pass the first day I can reserve is Dec 26th. Dc 19-25 are to be released.

What’s the beta on restaurants around WC like in Pagosa? Open? Take out only?

Trying to figure out how to pack if I go for more than one day. No lodge makes it tricky.

Restaurants in Pagosa are open for both in-dining and take out. Some are shut for a couple of days mid-week, though. Plenty of hotel rooms available from what I can see.

Thanks! I’ll look into getting me a thermos before I head up too.

Plenty of pow, and the women are Rona free.

It better be a YETI.

North San Juans are skiing well right now.

Its absolutely great if you happen to live within 30 minutes or so. You might wanna reflect on some previous life choices if you're actually considering a ski trip there though.

IDK man, I used to take trips there all the time. When the lake effect machine gets cranking, laps down Tiger can be as good as it gets.

[chicken feathers]

I pretty much lived there in my teens and early twenties. I think they have had a hard time getting much open in December the last few years though. From what I've heard the lake effect isn't near what it used to be and major temperature swings have messed up the season there a lot.

Reserving Dec. days to ski there since other resorts are booked seems crazy to me unless you're already in the region.

I skied 40-50 days a winter at Boston Mills (and some occasional Brandywine) when I was growing up (mostly 1989-1995ish) and “absolutely great” is not how I would describe a single day there.

That said, the San Juans are skiing awesome

[blackalps]

nice

I laughed when the better half showed me her home hill of Boston Mills and the famous Tiger run...

You know why you run into so many people from Ohio everywhere? Because the smart ones leave.

Yep. It's really funny when we visit Ohio. Her dad gets it, but mom? It's non-stop, "you know what was invented in Ohio", "you know who is from Ohio", "you know what business started in Ohio". As if we're going to move there if she says that stuff often enough.

Well, it is home to The Ohio State University [emoji849]

Where is BMillSkier to comment on skiing Boston Mills? Seems to me he might know something about something up there.

My wife (new england girl) laughed out loud when she saw it too.

dude! Nothin like that in my neck yet.
I can be there in 3.5. Strongly considering this.

Back to Sam’s today. Skiing with my daughter and her friend (and her dad). Who knew teenagers could be so cool?

Things are starting to get sun-affected. No signs of instability. I probably won’t ski again until we get a refill, but there’s plenty of good skiing out there, especially in the alpine.

I’ve had a good early season down here in SW CO.

We didn’t dig any pits today, but there was about 15cm of the newer snow (from Tuesday) sitting on a pretty significant sun crust (East face, around 11000’). No whumping or fracturing or any signs of instability.

Nice morning out there, maybe this next storm is more than a refresher?

I did a recon trip to one of the 2020 burn areas, still tons of thick sections, but there are some intriguing lines that may be worth a second visit when better covered (and officially open)

[Tech Tonics]

“Next storm”?
I don’t see anything in the grids yet.

Think he means the Tuesday snow fart. went from 0-1" to 1-2".
