TR: Rohr - Duffey Jan 11, 2013
40 new in valley. 60 new in alpine. Lee, Sharon, Tyler and Dan went out to the duffey to find collection zones to gut and sunny south facing slopes to ski. Its a rare opportunity to get this cold clear weather without NE winds so we headed to Rohr and ended up skiing 2 laps ridgetop to valley 2x 1000m (sorry fuck you freedom units so no idea what it is in furlongs, chains , fathoms or whatever you backward ass units you use.
We found the grooming to be poor but the constant faceshots from ridgetop to valley to be more then acceptable
Herein the photo dump
we go up

Have to go for another lap. 1 chute down another 5 to go. But how we wish we had the mad gnar of Berthoud Pass instead.
Snow is still acceptable

true and that is why my little mind was blown last winter when I first laid eyes on the coast range on a bluebird day. Originally Posted by LeeLau

Great pictures and video. They're making me very jealous right about now.
There's a lifetime of terrain up there. I'd love to be able to spend an entire winter up there, one of the coolest places I've ever been. Originally Posted by LeeLau

Why so mad, Lee-brah? Those 45% taxes sticking it to your rich ass?
I thought Canadians were supposed to be the happiest people in the world besides the Danes (oh the blonde leggy women everywhere on the bikes.......)
And thanks for not hating on N California. We try our best to KIR. And of course thanks for the always epic stoke."Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

People who don't think the Earth is flat haven't skied Vail.

Norcal doesn't have close to the level of butthurt about nothing as UT, therefor not as much fun to insult Originally Posted by dblatto

So awesome and so true... not to mention not having to risk your life accessing that type of terrain right after a storm! Wish I could join you tomorrow, but I have an appointment with the dentist! Originally Posted by LeeLau

Sweet photos Lee!! Just so you know, it snowed 3 inches in Istanbul last week, and totally went bluebird today...
Sigh... Home soon enough. Drowning sorrows with efes and Donairs.
