Luv was complete shit show today. Frankly would like them to punt the racers and open up Lift 3 in the valley. Rather ski that than wait 30min in line with a bunch of bozos who can't wear a mask.

But at least the snow was soft and new skis go fast.

[Soups]

Holy shit. For sure. Going to be interesting on powder days there this year. But that'll be everywhere I guess

[Shredhead]

It was nice here.
The extra 100 miles is priceless.

30 min lines for WROD? Fuck.
A shitshow on Nov 25th? Powder days will be fucked.

Powder days at Luv will be fine once the place is open. Parking is the limiter there -- the problem is sunny day post storm, right before xgiving, not much open. Road up with several IKONers, WP and Copper passholders today.

So Feb/March when they finally get the ridge open?

[bamboocoreONLY]

Yeah the wife and I drove over there from Breck around 10 (had errands or woulda gone earlier) and turned around. Just waited til 1 and Breck wasn’t so bad. The singles lines are moving very fast since groups of two usually happen where they’d normally join solo with a bigger group on a normal year.

Ridge isn't opening this year. Not enough time to boot pack it.

Just about the longest lift lines I have ever experienced at loveland today. They had to add more lines to the maze to keep the line from extending all the way across to chair 2. Problem was that MOST of chairs went up with 1-2 people. I would like to see data on covid transmission on a ski lift wearing masks. My guess is that the risk is negligible. They fill the rows on airplanes for christs sake and there is data that says that is fine as long as people wear masks. FILL THE CHAIRS.

Upper Richards was nice.

It doesn't help that they don't even try to create a singles line that would allow people to join easier, easier meaning that lift ops could join them up instead of leaving it to the people. Like I said above, it's actually working pretty well in Breck, still busy at times but you're never actually waiting that long.

I'm a little frustrated with the loooong days, witheringly intense sun and lack of precipitation.

At least I like my job and the place I'm living, but I think this will be my last foray south of the 45th parallel.

Rode Luv with the kids Tues afternoon. Snow was good, lines weren't bad. Gapers in full effect. My 8 year old kept asking why so many snowboarders were walking down the hill.
Because the drive from Texas made them tired, son.

[wkd-rdr]

get some
rumor mill says its all over after this weekend
the clown show up on the hill since "resturants are closed" is creating a mess just pushing people closer together in smaller spaces inside buildings

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]

No crowds at Keystone yesterday.

[Foggy_Goggles]

Wanker Park ain't opening on Monday...just so you know.

[Leshphilling77]

Oh damn I guess I just assumed

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.

WC skied great today. still sharky in the trees, but the snow quality was good.

[Lvovsky]

WC skied great today.

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.
