Colorado Weather Discussion Thread

[EWG]

Can anyone in CB give a conditions report on how close they are to opening the T-bars and associated terrain? Hoping to make it down there a few times next month.

I have exactly the same question as Name Redacted, though with a slightly more immediate interest. I'm in CB area through the week, mostly working but keen to catch the steeps if they open. Do they typically say anything in advance, or do I just keep obsessively checking the lift status page?

Seems pretty snowy around here, but I haven't a clue whether that terrain is nearly ready, or far from it.

Thanks!

They are bombing up there as I type this. Keep your fingers crossed. That's typically a sign that it might be opening soon. If too much slides when they bomb it it can't open, but hopefully it's thin enough (weird thing to type) that it holds when they bomb.

The snow coming end of week could put it over the top if it doesn't look good to them now.

Usually there are rumors in town just before North or High opens, but I haven't heard anything. I'm banking on the bombing, and hoping.

January thaw in full effect in Denver.

Good. Everyone should stay in Denver for the rest of winter.

Thank you Beece. I too have been listening to the bombs and hoping they are a good sign.

Regardless it's (almost) always a welcome sound in a ski setting.

I hear the biking is great

It’s great. Dry, fairly uncrowded trails with the occasional ice patch in the shade to keep you on your toes.

I LOVED doing those side hits... when I was 9.

I called the COO a nazi once... that got my pass pulled for the day. Wonder what this guy gets for putting up a 25 minutes youtube complaint about getting into it with yellow jackets on a green? Who the fuck has time to watch that drivel? Who the fuck head cams side jibbing the beginner green run?

A supreme JONG, that's who.

I nearly lost my pass twice last season because of the Keystone safety douches. Part of the reason I bailed on epic and now enjoy the goods elsewhere.

Anyone know how the wind was up on berthoud today? I know A-bay was super windy. I am getting off of the flu and looking for some fresh turns but not gonna put myself through the coughing fit if its wind chop and just save myself for the crowds this weekend.

"Just throwing this out there not sure which thread is for Colorado;

My friend was involved in an avalanche off grizzly peak beside abasin recently, lost a single 194 dynastar xxl pro rider(new black & orange version) with a marker kingpin. Does anyone check that area out and might find it? or know where I should post?

Thank you!"

I'd like to see the other end of that to ensure that's not a representation of A-Lagoon, A-Bay's sister ski area.

Ha. It won’t be sharks. It’ll be 100 yard long cheese graters.

100% worth it.

Now y'all get on out there and pack that all down for me so it is ready in a few weeks.

A few years ago, in a good season w/ good base, I was riding CB on a 12"+ day, on a brand new fancy carbon board and got a core shot so deep I thought it would go through the board. That place has some serious rocks, and that's from a guy who skis Abasin a lot.

Any denver mags have experience with Joel Gonzalez at Rose hospital?

Somehow my work conscience and my desire not to shred my lovely new-ish skis and/or my old-ish knees won out. I figure it'll be better after some kind folks find the sharks/graters/mine fields. Hard to say how long my resolve will last though.

I appreciate the intel, ye local brethren.

What?!? Did you not see the 100% worth it comment!? Get out there! It'll be awesome - you'll be grinning the whole time you shave your bases down. This is why they make PTex!

Also, what's a "work conscience?"

Come on dammit. I'm trying to live vicariously through you.

Right. Someone tell us how it was? Or post some pictures.

Any denver mags have experience with Joel Gonzalez at Rose hospital?

No but let me know if you want to have a beer when you’re in town or if you need help.

[I've seen black diamonds!]

I have a buddy in Denver who manages orthopedic surgeons. He's at a different hospital but may have some inside info. If you pm me some basic details I'll ask him what he knows and pass it along.

Thanks guys. I am thinking about shoulder surgery. My sister in denver would like me to do it there. This doctor was recommended to her. I was just curious if anyone had used him. Looking for the maggot seal of approval.
Thanks rideski will let you know.

[summit]

I can recommend shoulder surgeons in Summit and Eagle. Don't know Denver. What procedure?

[timackie]

Joel Gonzales is great. I worked as a PA with him for 2 years and assisted him in lots of surgery. He is a gifted surgeon, good doctor and nice guy. He scoped both my knees after I left his practice and recommend him to friends for knee and shoulder injuries.
