    We had a snow squall warning earlier in the season here. It's currently apocalyptic out there.

    Where are you that it stopped snowing? The only thing that is stopped is traffic.

    Yesterday at Copper was good. Very few people, lots of snow. First day on Tucker since they put in the new lift. Way different than it used to be, not as good with all the bumps. Still pretty good though. Especially on a sleeper pow day.

    Drive was definitely gnarly this am, one of the worse whiteouts I can remember driving in. Breck seemed pretty deserted in the morning and was deep in spots. Combination of new snow and wind filled in everything and fresh tracks were abundant. Scored the first seat on 6 chair, did not disappoint.

    Snow squall was gnar driving no joke. But worth it silverthorne to copper. Very good out today. Lapped lots of areas I usually don’t ski a lot and they were bottomless and deep.

    interesting. so is their plan that you skin up the road into Dry Gulch and get picked up? or will there be some way to get there from Lift 8?

    My understanding is that it’ll pick up off Awesome. No skinning.

    Can't be, the most southern cat route ends at the currentish rope line north of 8. The easy groomer ("awesome") is pretty close to that point and would be a logical spot to be picked up. Interesting that the northern portion of the project area is outside of their current permit. I'm curious to see if they will move the gate up to that spot (I seem to remember them having a gate there in the past?), leave it where it is (lower), or get rid of it altogether. Either way, that area will be different going forward.

    Huh. I had a fun day off Hagar last year. I think there may still be an ice axe up there with my name on it. I haven't paid a lot of attention; how late in the year will they get to run the cat op?

    I was meadow skipping with dog, but jumped on some nice little test slopes on the way up. Wind slab from last couple days is very poorly bonded in places. This was below tree line.

    This is weird, so their cat terrain encompasses the low angle bowls in the "potential compaction area" despite the fact that they are doing avy mitigation on the steeper terrain higher up on the ridge? Or am I mis-reading this?

    If so, this cat skiing operation seems pretty lame.

    I missed that. I was assuming the operation included drops off the Divide. If not, that is lame.

    The location of the cat road and two drop off points don’t seem to indicate that, but who knows...

    <500' of <25˚ windpack surrounded by much better skiing/riding. Sounds par for the course.

    Sounds like they're trying to compete with Keystone's epic catskiing.
