Bummer. The week after Xmas was incredible this season. Great snow and a ghost town. $ talks.

Fucking HOT out there. Small wet slides onto part of 40 near Berthoud. Mtn bikers out at Floyd Hill.

I saw a motorcyclist today. That's a first for me in the first week of March.

Finally got some stubborn ice drip piles chopped up. Didn't even need a jacket.

Saw girls in bikinis skiing at Winter Park today. Lots of horny guys hollering from the lift.

I think it is lining up to be a big Butt Hurt Weekend.

Shitty weather in the city and desert - check

Forecasted D.O.C conditions that will be interpreted as powder - check

Spring Break is Starting but not for Jeffco or DPS - check

While I accept your metrics, I don't think they are relevant anymore. I can't remember a single weekend this season so far that wasn't a BBHW.

Ugh, I love/hate March.

Today is the best day of the year to have a parade, or stave off an invasion.

I am supposed to be butt hurt. I think this next week should be a great week of powder skiing. Cold temps predicted all week with light snow. Should keep the sun affect down. Been a great season looks like it will end well.

**Name Redacted** · 03-04-2022, 10:20 AM

I’d rather hike up a nice steep bootpack, but alas, I must slave away in the factory instead.

I will be gone for a few weeks of March this year. Looking forward to that. Hope we build a nice base for April, or not.

Just started snowing. Hopefully enough to make some late afternoon turns. If not gonna hit it early tomorrow. SW flow isn't my favorite but oh well

**hawkgt** · 03-04-2022, 11:51 AM

they fool you with some of those graphics. They show snowflakes but then you realize it's "slight chance".

Looks like the weekend phase may put a new foot on the ground... which would help da Boat immensely right now.

**bamboocoreONLY** · 03-04-2022, 01:03 PM

Eh, this isn't one of those purely SW events, looks pretty widespread with winds changing throughout the cycle

Yep - pretty weird storm from the looks of it:

Look on the bright side... there definitely won't be enough new snow to justify breaking out the powder skis.

**Name Redacted** · 03-04-2022, 02:03 PM

New Als blog post is interesting. No more ikon blackouts, adding Bridger to the pass, limiting pass and ticket sales. Fall passes. Etc etc.

**Leshphilling77** · 03-04-2022, 03:37 PM

got to do the work thing a bit so I am just hoping for good east wall conditions on tuesday

**The SnowShow** · 03-04-2022, 04:15 PM

First weekend with powder in the forecast in a long while. I70/resort shitshow commence!

Yep models are depending on that low pressure from the north. If it shifts at all steamboat gets squat.

I’m flying home to Gunnison on Sunday so put your money on CB getting hammered and me getting stuck in some midwestern shithole airport.
