"We" as in all of Colorado, all of TGR, all telemarkers, or all Sprinter drivers?

Eldora been in a cloud all day, just started getting cold last hr or so with post laps beer.

Skied decent but such and odd day, warm humid this morning, in and out of fog and light. Could not see much at all, Salto was good but far from best

It is 7*C (45*F!!!!) here at 9300ft sunny with 2/8 cloudcover and light NE winds.

My predictions:

Saturday skiing: Mob scene and shit snow most places

Sunday night totals:

Eldora 44"
Winter Park 36"
Loveland 26"
Abasin 18"
Keystone 18"
Breckenridge 24"
Copper 24"
Vail 14"
Beav 18"
Aspen 12
CB 7"
Silverton 20" (but they report 30")
Telluride 22"
Taos 15"

Denver 6" and everyone calls into work and get's stuck on I70 corridor where it snows 30" causing avalanche closures at Eisenhower, Loveland Pass, and Berthoud

I'd be on the road to Silverton or Telluride right now if I could

Oh wow, I did a few laps Cooper today checking out some gear changes and it was nothing like that. Partly cloudy, maybe a tinge of humidity barely noticeable. The wind has picked up, coming from the east...

Never trust an upslope storm or a fart.

What they did not mention is Ikon. Sounds like no restrictions there other than blackout days for base passholders. I'm still a buyer though. It's been pretty quiet for the most part this season. Also been nice driving past a full Keystone lot, yet be able to park where I can basically ski to/from my car.

What do mean regarding Ikon? Still only 7-days for the full pass and 5-days for the base pass, correct? Is the no blackouts for the full Ikon holders a change from this season?

[Rideski]

I’m voting Georgetown hill as climax drama point.

total dick post since I am someone who just packed the sprinter with my telemark skis to chase the storm into wyoming only to realize there isn't any ski areas in wyoming

so is everyone an amateur snow prediction specialists?

blue skys on and off clouds in breck wind out of the south it never snows in breck when it comes from the south

I meant no word on Ikon reservations. Otherwise same as this season (5 w/ blackouts, 7 w/o).

Would be curious to know how long they are locked into the Ikon contract. Bail and charge $100 more for passes.

Did anyone else not prepare in any way at all? I mean I have parking reservations and bought a bunch of beer, but I mean beyond that...

I don't even have beer for past tonight. 'Round here the shortage will probably be non-ethanol and AVGAS. But hey, I got reservations!

looking pretty dry in brown cloud town

so how do they spin this when it doesn't snow?

[bamboocoreONLY]

Silverton 20" (but they report 30")

subtly the best part of your post. They're real good at that.

Models are showing better totals the past few runs down here in the San Juan's. Passholder day on Monday could be pretty fucking good.

I don’t think they have to worry about that. 20” is still something to talk about all weekend long.
