Denver mags PM me if you need a Loveland 4-pack ticket. $24.98 + $99.99 delivery.

Loveland closed for the season. I hear Vail or Breck are getting double the snow anyway...

Copper is the place to be this weekend. Joel says 24-32 between Friday night and Sunday AM.

**ski-wpk** · 04-14-2016, 05:53 PM

Looks like about the same at WP. Maybe more.

**The SnowShow** · 04-14-2016, 06:22 PM

Of course, this all doesn't matter. I70 closes for 2" of snow. And this is the perfect time for clueless tourons to take their boats across the state

I still have to go with the dude who closed i70w at Lookout Mt. in April 2008, towing his canoe behind his Toyota tercel.

Don't lie, we know you can't handle more than 4". I won't settle for less than 13".

Bowl, not a vape pen. And I drink good beer. The girl wouldn't appreciate me chasing tail.

But moab sounds cool too. Maybe I can just join you.

He is just trolling

Already 5" on ground since last night and it's absolutely hammering right now here in Routt Cnty. Probably a foot already at Mt. Werner, 7" showing on cam already. Too bad mountain is closed but that's how it goes. I'll get turns regardless.

I'll be skinning up this afternoon. If it keeps up like this we'll be getting faceshots by lunch!

**skiracer88_00** · 04-15-2016, 09:27 AM

This is the kind of storm that always underdelivers for the ski areas. Evergreen will probably get like 4-feet though.

During upslope events, they will predict 3-feet of snow at loveland, and they will get 3-6 inches. everywhere west of that will get about 2".

OTOH if you see Northwest flow and 2" predictions, plan for a pow day.

**fastfred** · 04-15-2016, 09:49 AM

clouds were low and heavy this morning, they have lifted and now were getting a flake or two here and there, the air is kind of dry, donut hole?

It's hilarious how many people complain about these late storms. Obviously not us and avid skiers. But it's these type of storms that help us not repeat the summer of '12 where the whole Front Range was ablaze in June. I keep telling people to embrace it and who the fuck cares anyway. The snow in town will be gone by Tuesday.

**The SnowShow** · 04-15-2016, 11:56 AM

Joel calling for 22"-44" at Winter Park, similar at ABasin.

**Tads** · 04-15-2016, 12:10 PM

Lightning hold at Vail

Raining super hard at Loveland.

**Name Redacted** · 04-15-2016, 02:00 PM

Should be start taking bets on when I70 closes and how many times it'll close over the next 24 hours?

I predict another shitshow of epic proportions when the sun goes down.
