Man... I get the precip complaint but longer days and sunshine? I hated the weather when I lived in the PNW. Where will you try next?

We sure will miss your sunny disposition.

Hoping crowds will thin out at the basin starting Monday when copper/ wp open.

**thefrush** · 11-26-2020, 01:18 PM

No crowds at Keystone yesterday.

Do you have a pass?

The skiing is good here. I had a fantastic day.
If you want to sack up and show up with your A game, early. I’ll show you some good skiing.

Debbie downer will not be tolerated!

Yeah, um, I can find a lot of things to complain about in Western Colorado. Long winter days and sunshine wouldn't be on my list.

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.

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.

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.

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.

**been in it** · 11-27-2020, 09:45 AM

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.

Full trip report if you do it Dee Hubs

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.
