^^ Skied a line near Lake City last weekend and was blown away by how little snow there was. Granted, LC is in the rain shadow, but I ski that zone quite a bit at this time of year and I hadn't seen it like that before. Dust has been sticky around here.

This heat and dust in the San Juans is destroying the snow pack.

Depressing graph considering I'm in the middle of a move and then traveling the first week of May.

Ugh. Yeah I don't have much time to get out in the next two weeks, but was hoping to get a bit more steep skiing in without having to walk on dirt a long ways.

To add, the snowpack averages were recently updated and are now based on 1990-2020 precipitation totals. Due to persistent drought, totals are generally lower across the West.
That helps explain why it's an "average" year, despite 200-250" YTD in northern CO.

In the La Platas yesterday, and damn was it slow on the exit. Don't think I've ever taken my skis off to walk on a downhill before.

Dipshits from FLA starting a open fire on Mt. Falcon. Story on 9news said the fine if they were caught would have only been $75. Why can't it be $75,000?

Fucking morans. From the description they were burning this up near the top lot of Mt. Falcon - and there are a SHITLOAD of houses up there.

That's a very good point.

[snowaddict91]

Fucking dust

For real. Just drove from Montrose to Palisade towing our camper. Fucking brutal.

Why is it always people from Floridumb or Texass?

April droughts bring April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December wild fires. Sigh.

Speaking from experience, this plus a re-examination of your insurance policy(ies) is worth your time.

It’s a beautiful day at the Icelantic Demo sale. But I feel like they screwed up the DIN settings on the drink holder…



And yes that’s Outer Range. Life is good.

My legs couldn't handle another day. Didn't see the sun for two whole days. I'm wrecked

[The SnowShow]

Basin is awesome today but holy shit it’s crowded. I see a massive lineup of cars still coming in over Loveland Pass. Does anyone work anymore?

Didn't see a soul once I left the parking lot this morning.
