How many of you people are skiing?

**storyofthewolf** · 11-19-2013, 08:58 PM

3 @ Loveland, 1 at Berthoud so far. Probably will get out again Friday, then off to Moab for Thanksgiving week.

**mrburns** · 11-19-2013, 09:41 PM

1 day at Wolf Creek, skinned up in the morning and skied a few laps lift served in the afternoon. Gonna hit up Vail this weekend and looking forward to the Beav opening up on Wednesday. Damn, I missed ski season!

6 at Wolf. Its not really "In bounds stump jumping and rock tagging" anymore, but I guess that is the closest choice.

I've been pretty well rounded so far. Between A-basin, Keystone, Breck, Copper, Loveland, and a few days getting the dog out on some mellow bc stuff. Now that I think of it, it's been pretty fun lately. But Keystone still sucks balls.

**Charmander** · 11-19-2013, 11:04 PM

Got one day skinnin at lookout, hoping to make a couple laps at the kan tomorrow

**stuckathuntermtn** · 11-19-2013, 11:27 PM

Ha, saw the tracks on their Facebook. Seen some other people doing stuff in the Bitterroots.

Sometimes high.

Sometimes low

Cheers Mir. Hopefully you have an awesome season planned!

Looks like Z and Mofro win this game so far.

Groomers on the glaciers for me since our season pass started working in october.

We had a fairly snowy summer and did our fall fieldwork on some nearby (non-skiarea) glaciers with skis, which maybe counts as alpine meadow skipping or something?
late september:

october 3rd:

Have been skinning around in closed resorts for the past couple of weeks when the groomers get too crowded on weekends.

Been out 3 days so far at Loon in NH. Typical EC early season conditions.

**whipski** · 11-20-2013, 08:26 AM

Deuce nice freshie yesterday all skinned

**Fritz** · 11-20-2013, 10:29 AM

A few days in the front range zone. Most sucked but a couple nice days. No core shots at least.

Two days for me so far. One day at Abasin and one pow run at Berthoud with my dog.

**DropCliffsNotBombs** · 11-20-2013, 11:08 AM

I only ski in the early season...

... if there is snow on the ground.

Nice pics! Yup season looks good, just add snow!

I like reading this thread and feel pretty clever about starting it.

Was surprise to see not as much of the inbounds stump/rock action. I've been having the most fun with that. Breck opens terrain so thin and I'm so glad they do. Also hiking up to horseshoe bowl is really fun - controlled high alpine steeps. A bunch of it had slabbed off yesterday on east facing.

**Lindahl** · 11-20-2013, 04:22 PM

Some skiing, some jumping off shit. It's been a good couple weeks.

With the huge number of people on this website, seems like the "Not yet"s aren't responding to the poll.

**neck beard** · 11-21-2013, 05:23 AM

A few days on the skins. Here ^ last week. Going back tomorrow for a few more.

**kevino** · 11-21-2013, 07:54 AM

6 days of touring so far...some real deeps days this past weekend

**covert** · 11-21-2013, 08:48 AM

i'm on day 18, all touring, and the stumps started disappearing around day 8

**nateski** · 11-21-2013, 05:38 PM

as of today, 1 day of bc meadow skipping in the books. felt great

**Meadow Skipper** · 11-21-2013, 06:11 PM

4-5 so far, mostly moving slat/snow fences and pulling t-stakes, putting up ropes and signs, and bootpacking. It's work, but getting in a few free turns on the way down. The poll doesn't have a category for that. Only one core shot so far.

**hortence** · 11-21-2013, 06:33 PM

I'll be the first "not yet". I won't complain I won't explain. But it's been hard putting up my bike. It snowing now, and this weekend through next I'm off work, so I've got some plans. Can I change my answer then?

MEADOW skipper, how much snow up in the basin?

Anywhere from 6" to knee-deep up high (the lower mountain is getting snowmaking and grooming), but there's no base to speak of. There's some great skiing here and there, but after this storm passes...it might be great then. Looks like for certain Thanksgiving opening...for the lower mountain, not sure yet about the upper.
