There is a lot of whining lately considering that this is the biggest latest storm many can remember in the last 20 years.
a. Your life and and your timing are your problem. With all the webcam and telemetry, if you can't figure out what roads/weather/snow are like...no sympathy.
b. The ski areas challenge late/post season is revenue plain and simple. Months of great spring skiing go by with walk on chairs. The last day the Jane was open, the skiing was great. There were about 50 cars in the parking lot when the chairs stopped spinning for the year. Passholders sitting on the tailgate drinking beers does not pay the bills. There is plenty the ski areas could do to address this but they don't so here we are.
c. I'm glad all the E(very) P(rick) I(n) C(olorado) pass holders have somewhere to go. Berthoud used to be a lot busier late season when the lift riders had no where to go.
d. Remember when...yeah...that ship has sailed...we got a thread for that. I remember when there was a ski area that had great terrain and the most snow around that couldn't get enough skiers to pay $10 a ticket to stay open. I remember when that ski area closed the last time and we'd snowmobile shuttle everything with no one around. I remember with you used to be able to buy a spring pass to A-Basin. We'd ski in the morning, kayak in the afternoon and camp in the parking lot. When there was concrete to be poured and framing to be done, our boss used to drive over from Parshall and tell us it was time to go to work.
e. I wish it were spring all the time. Too much to do not enough time.

Buddy who sent it said he skinned River Run and it was way better ! I sacrificed myself (you're welcome guys) and worked in CA this week and will say that mid may is an A+time to visit San Francisco.
Yes, thank goodness the great May migration of elk over the 12,600' divide can get underway.

Federal judge halts Village at Wolf Creek land swap
https://durangoherald.com/articles/1...it_nosession=1
"Jimbo Buickerood of the San Juan Citizens Alliance said Matsch’s strongly-worded decision recognizes the passion residents expressed for the protection of Wolf Creek Pass.
“This victory represents the power of all of us to work together for the benefit of wild places, watersheds and wildlife habitat – the people’s voice has been heard,” Buickerood said. “We appreciate the diligence that Judge Matsch brought to the legal case in thoroughly examining the record that highlighted the shortcomings of the NEPA process and the pummeling that the environment would take should the project be approved.” "

We bailed today because we failed at a) waking up early b) remembering all our shit c) vehicle selection for unplowed FS roads considering recent events d) being fast e) trip planning and logistics in general.
Plus, a bit too much recent winter for the lack of winter today.
Oh well. Ain't never a bad day to take a walk in the hills. Still got a few turns.

Sometimes, the only alternative is a short walk for lots of crap skiing.

Skied down from the top of 4. Untracked 3" of powder on top of collapsing snow. Not great.

PSA for Team Flip Flops
Memorial Day is part of Spring, not Summer. Please don't bring your grumpy to the mountains just because you can't show off your sick collection of manpris or tank tops.
Indy, Mount Evans & Trail Ridge are scheduled to open. Go skiing! It least in my neck of the woods, their ain't much hiking or biking going on above 7500. If you need to feel the heat, go to the desert. We'd love to have you and your wallet up in the "High Country" but bring the warm bag, the full collection of fashion puffies and the Muck Boots (are those city fashion yet?)

I'll be up on Indy this weekend. Manpris, tank top, flip flops, fashionable puffy, sweet beard, and a Toyota. Ask for change.

They are definitely mountain town chique but not Denver-approved just yet. When Patagonia drops a Muck Boot line, look out.
Yup. There was an unsupportive suncrust forming on most aspects in that area Friday afternoon. On Sunday, the crust was supportive enough to make skiing the 3" on top enjoyable. Sounds like it's in between now.
