    right on. dunno if i can make it sunday. also not sure how this storm is gonna play out and what the snow will be like on sunday.

    you have a touring setup? I'd really like to get out and do some bc after this storm.

    skied yesterday up around the ski area on the west side of the road and it was goooood :-)

    btw, I'm pretty sure I boated with you a bit last summer or something (just some playboating at corner pocket). Let's try to hook up and ski, 970-749-sixty six forty four

    My wife and I, plus two more non-mags will be up there Fri/Sat. Come ask for change... green jacket/brown pants.

    Any plans for NYE?

    Fingers crossed the passes don't close.

    A non-mag and I will be up there tomorrow. Can't tour next week, but would be down next weekend. We are both boarders, but I got a split and the whole setup. Hit me up if you see me, or if you want to share a ride or anything. We'll be leaving Durango at 7.

    Me: Rust red pants, black/grey jacket, green helmet w/ contourhd cam on top. Rocking a red Venture Storm.

    cool. I've been trying to get some others motivated to go via facebook and have one girl who for sure wants to go (don't know if she can keep up or not....)

    I assume you want to ski from open to close, yeah? Maybe pm me your phone number and if it's just the four of us, we can all share a ride. If it doesn't work out, maybe we can meet up and ski at the mountain. And if that doesn't work out, perhaps some touring later on.

    Really wish I was there today too, drove all the way the gate, and both Coal Bank and Molas were closed. Purg was pretty nice, but got too tracked out fast.

    Welp, I guess this explains why it's taking them so long to open the pass:

    Thinking of heading to Silverton this Thursday & Friday -- will unguided terrain be tracked out - or should I spring for guided to get the goods?

    Go unguided if the option is there. Yesterday our guide took us on one run that wasn't open to unguided skiers and it wasn't anything to write home about (and opened to the unguided people shortly after we hit it).

    The stashes that he showed us consisted of skiing heavy and set up snow in really, really tight trees. Not a mystery why nobody had skied in there... I get that he was trying to deliver us some pow with the limited amount of terrain he/we had access to.

    We did catch one rope drop perfectly thanks to his radio (dropped in past the first rock outcropping, can't remember the name of the run, Waterfall maybe) and the untracked snow we did get was really, really wind affected and slabby.

    Not trying to sound like a whiny bitch or hate on Silverton as I've had some seriously amazing days there, just being honest about my experience and the conditions this time around.
