Eldora clusterfuck Friday?

**EWG** · 12-14-2020, 11:25 AM

Anybody got any info on when the nordic center will open? How close is the base to working for them?

Asking for a friend. Seriously. I don't nordic anymore.

**hawkgt** · 12-14-2020, 01:48 PM

Not good, not enough natural really to get a base going, still can see some tall grass on the trails poking through when looked last Wed. Maybe after next couple storms

All I saw was the announcement that nordic was delayed. Outside of blown snow, there really isn't much out there. I guess in the trees and machine packed some of it has stuck around, but unless they have guns over there, I imagine a good sized storm is needed. I mean, the Eldo snow report says they have received 11" season to date. Hard to set a track in that.

Went up this AM. Guns are pounding now on the lookers right side of Corona. The left half is actually pretty well covered top to bottom. Guessing they open it this weekend.
And from a distance, west ridge trees and run has a surprising amount of coverage - maybe its just 4" over rocks, but again was way better than other neglected runs. Prob picking up lots of blow over snow from Corona
Somewhat related, tooled around Caribou area yesterday mostly to dig around and do a little beacon practice. Plenty of coverage to skin a good ways up, but prob took longer picking our way down through shark infested waters. Picked up some new scratches, but fortunately nothing major

I'll be skiing 12-4 on Sunday, hit me up if you're there

**Wildman** · 12-19-2020, 01:53 AM

I was up this afternoon lapping corona at high speeds! Beauty of a day...sun snow is always a trip. Good times. I’ll be up tomorrow as well. In general the mountain is pretty firm. Needs a big storm or two to fill in. Muleshoe not even close.

Wind Hold for the Win!!!

**Wildman** · 12-19-2020, 01:36 PM

That wind was righteous!

**Danno** · 12-19-2020, 03:08 PM

Hope tomorrow isn't as bad. But if it is, the racer kids will just lap Chute, and the rest of us will be screwed.

**Danno** · 12-19-2020, 03:10 PM

I think we should plan another Eldora mini; with reservation's required we should plan far in advance. Thoughts?

**TransplantedFromRMNP** · 12-19-2020, 03:15 PM

Make sure and schedule the wind 🤣

Eh, a bad wind day just means we grill more brats.

Bueller?

I realize people are probably buried in holiday crap so if this doesn't get traction I'll try once more after the holidays are over.

Although now that I look at it, weekends are almost entirely booked already. Maybe a midweek summit?

I am in midweek - depending on day/date.

**Wildman** · 12-25-2020, 02:22 AM

I’m interested...

I was there today. Multiple hot laps on Indian Peaks because that's all there was, with Corona closed and Alpenglow running so slowly.

Then it all shut down.

**Danno** · 01-04-2021, 06:40 PM

Muleshoe!!!

**JerkPorkins** · 01-05-2021, 01:52 AM

Rode the Muleshoe a few times, today.

I could be up for a mid-week mini. I've got three days left on my 4 pack, so not exactly an Eldora power player, however.
