trying to justify a short weekend trip with maybe just taking one day off, it will be our busiest time at work and I cant take much off.

maybe one day of each and then abasin monday morning before catching a flight back. will abasin be decent by then?

ABasin is looking good...most of the front is open except Pali. Some of the new Beavers terrain is likely to open soon. Maybe do a whole Basin day. Very worth it IMO.

Until the open Pali, or the Beavers the place gets boring quick. I'd need a lot of liquid refreshments to put in a full day there. Supposedly they are opening the beaves soon.

Copper is fantastic today. Tbar open, soft bumps, little chopped pow, beautiful day.

Seriously. Conditions were spectacular. Best opening day I've had in the 14 yrs I've been out here.

**BFD** · 11-16-2018, 03:51 PM

If anyone is coming down for the rando race at Wolfcreek. I am in South fork PM if you need a place to stay.

Great to hear! What a start it’s been!

Oh, and they’re going to rebuild the troll somewhere else in Breck.

You should ask about conditions in March while you are at it. Or maybe January 2035.

Gotta plan those trips!

My fat ass really wants to try a rando race at some point. Just for the laughs and because it's been a while since i puked from exercise. Solid offer.

Lord forbid if a rattlesnake or coyote come around and kill their pets because they protect the prairie dogs...

You're only a fatty in spirit. The weather was better for this today anyways.
