Kaplan rolls the dice a bit and the snow gods deliver. I'll be up the gondi after some pancakes; psyched to be back up!

Not a bad way for Aspen to open. 60" of snow so far this fall.

Sick opening day for sure, and tomorrow going to be even better. Woot woot!

**JaytaeMoney** · 11-16-2013, 09:33 PM

Oh man, today was awesome... sooo pumped for tomorrow. Stoke levels in town are at an all-time high, I love it!

Got a Gondi call this afternoon. Only about a hundred people at opening, walk on most of the day.

Washes open down to the Glades and all of Bell. Not bad for Thanksgiving!

Confirmed. Awesome day ripping around with the crew on Ajax.

Snowmass yesterday was so much fun, best opening day I've had at a resort in 5 seasons. Got to show an AVSC para buddy the hill for his first time. Gonna head up for a few hours here in a bit too.

Nice pics! You should give it the "thumbs-up" next time to match your lid and kit.

trying to not hit the video dude.... But yeah, that was the joke when they posted that one... First day shooting of the season always makes me aware how willy nilly my elbows get

Ajax has been skiing really well, I hear Snowmass has as well. I tweaked my back and won't be back out until Thursday at the earliest.... That said, my daughter had a blast hanging up at the sundeck on Ajax yesterday. the skiing was rad too. we had a grand time downloading the bucket and hooting at the skiers.

Conditions at Snowmass have been great these last 5 days. I heard from a reliable source that Alpine Springs is opening on Friday (if not earlier with the storm). Off to Aspen Mtn tomorrow to cause trouble with the SM SB crew.

**grskier** · 12-04-2013, 02:06 PM

Ajax went off this morning... missed early bucket and didn't end up shooting at all.

Post 'em up if you got 'em.

Good to see like... everyone up on Ajax.

**BigHerm** · 12-05-2013, 05:51 PM

Heard from a reliable source that something in the Hanging Valley is opening tomorrow. Bombs going off all day.

**grskier** · 12-08-2013, 09:53 PM

Snowmass was money today.

**JaytaeMoney** · 12-09-2013, 10:03 AM

Pretty ridiculous start to the season... so many great days already and Highlands hasn't even opened yet! Crazy.

You wouldn't know highlands was closed by all the tracks and how much action has been going on up there.. opening should still be a blast on Saturday.

Heading to Aspen from Denver for a week over Christmas and looking for a touring partner for a day or two. Will be there Tue - Sun.

**BigHerm** · 12-11-2013, 07:30 AM

2 Wall laps yesterday, Ladder gate popped. Looked and sounded like the Cirque terrain shall open soon. I am still exhausted. Snowmass conditions are excellent right now.

Probably best just to repost while your here. I'll be around, but have no idea what I'll be skiing then.

Looking forward to seeing everybody at the Highlands on Saturday!
