Basin was actually very fun, skied until 11:30. Maybe the best day I've ever had on Lenawee. No crowds, seriously, we kept wondering why we kept skiing onto the lift with no line. Perfect storm of I70 closures, Eisenhower and VP both closed.

They were letting people hike to terrain off Pali, just the East facing stuff. Patrol said EW was their priority today .

As I was leaving, there was a line of cars most of the way down the pass who were just showing up. Gonna be a while folks. If I70 is open tomorrow, that place will be fucking crazy. Here's hoping an navy closes the hwy.

Right! Which Navy are you thinking, US?

While you city fucks keep complaining about I70 closing I can't say I can remember much country club skiing this year. I could use a couple day closure. I've got a customer driving up from Denver for a meeting at 5pm. I'd like a reschedule.

I'd like to go on record saying that Lindahl is right, total D.O.C. Totally the wrong conditions for your radness. Good call to stay in the city.

Definitely the US NAVY. Or an avalanche if my autocorrect were familiar with mountain slang terms.

Compromise with those who wanted no snow stake cam

[WTF is dat]

I think AL said the snow stake is like that because the amount of snow on the mountain can vary dramatically depending on the aspect and wind

Per AL's blog post at 3:02 pm the Pali chair is going to re-open Fri-Sun.

Regardless of the reasons, it's still dumb.

I threatened to go up and super glue a ruler to it.

CDOT just announced that I70 will be closed all weekend at Georgetown for Rockfall mitigation.

[Micol]

guys... anyone want some house guests

by the time you get here from slc it will be tracked out or sintered up...

p.s. see i-70 bitch thread

if it's any consolation it was a little sticky/wet and it kept jamming up my sled air intake
in fact most of time i was riding sled i could not see the sled, which caused me to stop every so often to clear snow, and thats not efficient use of one's time

also dyna fiddle strife was on high because you could not see below your knees

but if none of that bothers you, come on, round 2 tomorrow

[stfu&gbtw]

Crashed out in Frisco tonight, hoping for deep snow and a line of bald tires stretching from 218 to c470...

[turbomike15]
