Yeah other than having evidence when said inept skiers plowed into her, not sure of the point there. Actually in general, even the gnarliest of lines don't do justice via POV, at least for me - I much prefer watching big lines get skied from the air.

I should mention it was still great to get some laps in so early in the season...managing traffic was an expected part of the deal. Always a good day when it's spent on snow.

Skied ABasin Saturday and Sunday......didn't think it was that bad given that it's only early November. "Nice" weather, lack of crowds and I'm liking the current scene over there.

took two runs at copper on saturday before just drinking, the crowds were a bit much for me but the actual skiing wasn't that bad i didn't think. helps to have good edges this time of year. flyer is supposed to open on friday so that should spread things out a bit.

My kid skied with some friends on Saturday. They left early 'cause "the snow sucked and the crowds were bad"... I think I may have spoiled them.

NTTAWWT.

My kid too on Sunday and his band of cronies. They ran hotlaps all day, ending on the little park each time, and were dying by the end of the day. Kid said his quads were cramping. I'm sure they were the pains in the ass ripping around people and causing worse crowding (you're not in crowds, you are crowds.) So I may have raised an idiot. NTTAWWT. Well, maybe there is...

Naw, man - they're all idiots at some point... and stay that way until... err... they aren't any more. Not sure when that happens. Hopefully soon? Not holding my breath, though.

When you think about what you did in your 20s, do you really think they will grow out of it anytime soon?

Judging by you, can we really be sure they won't stay that way?

What altitude? We were between 10k and maybe 10,600 about 10 days ago, and it was getting thin.

I had a nice 1500’ run on Sunday. Corny drifts and stratugi.

Anyone been skiing in the Dream Lake RMNP area? Too thin?

Haven't been but I would guess it's too thin. St Vrain Mountain looks like it might be good: either the east face or the more southern of the southeast facing chutes. The latter would likely involve some moderate scree hopping to get in and out.
