"Pattern change....two weeks." Ugh

I see some decent snow in the forecast for Friday. I'll take it.

[Lindahl]

Why can't we just get one of them on board by "diversifying" with a bad ass Whistler-esque bike park, or for that matter putting a legit year round bike park in the front range.

Idaho Springs has promise for year roundish.

[Lindahl]

Agreed, but sadly I️ think there is already enough snow that will stick around and create havoc in the backcountry as more snow falls on top.

Yeah, too late for a reapeat unfortunately. Too much snow to melt off.

Golden too. Lift accessed trails at Heritage would be great. Apex would be "sidecountry".

[adrenalated]

The difference is new trails in Idaho Springs, including legal, shuttle-able, downhill only trails, is likely to actually happen.

Heritage, not so much.

"Virgina Canyon Open Space (Area 28)is approximately 400 acres of land within Idaho Springs. The boundaries run roughly north of the Argo Mine & Mill to the Santa Fe Mine Road and the length of town east to west. It is bisected by Virginia Canyon Road. The land was set aside for recreation since held by the BLM. Before the BLM the land was part of the Louisiana purchase."

Man, that Louisiana Purchase just keeps paying off... TJ really took those Frenchies to the cleaners

[The SnowShow]

And...Vail delays opening day.

Cool, some downhill trails in IS would be sweet.

14 cents an acre. They needed the money to fight the revolution in Haiti.

They’ve never been very good at this stuff.

Bama is @ #6 Auburn next weekend. There is hope.

[Bronic]

I'm glad this has been brought up again this fall. Some context for the jongs:

For those who aren't in the know, MontanaSkier made a pact with the devil- he'd trade a winter of snow in CO for Bama to win the NCAA football title. He thought it was for one year.

Turns out the devil tricked him. It was for every year going forward. So long as Bama is top ranked, it doesn't snow in CO.

All of you butthurt rookies stare at NWS maps, Open Snow and other forecasts hoping and praying for a pattern change and some snow. What you forget to realize is that Colorado snowfall is perfectly correlated to Alabama's success on the football field. Nothing more, nothing less. Its all montanaskier's fault.

I decided to dive into the numbers a little bit more. Turns out Rontele is sort of right...

I took the last 8 years of football and Colorado Statewide Peak SWE values. Alabama winning the National Championship correlates quite strongly with low snowfall in Colorado. 0.66 for anyone who knows what a pearson coefficient is. Here's a picture for the dentists out there

[smmokan]

^^^ That is awesome.

War Eagle!!!

The Tide was pretty good every one of those years, but blew it in the Natl Championship or against Auburn.

It's not a matter of them rolling or not, it's mainly determined by the end of season outcome or this weekend's outcome. Supposed to snow 5-10 Friday and Saturday. Pattern seems to clear up after that. So the question is: Can the weather predict the outcome of the Iron bowl?

[WTF is dat]

I think these delayed openings are going to start becoming more and more common with global warming in Colorado.

I think in a few years they might have to start scheduling opening day for the beginning of December instead of thanksgiving.

I still don’t understand why Vail couldn’t have just blown snow on swinger or one of the runs above mid vail. It had to have been cold enough up there for that. Just have people download the gondola

[The SnowShow]

Agree except for AB and LL.

Could be worse...I think the Wasatch is even drier?

[hatchgreenchile]

The Cottonwoods will be just fine.

Vail is so goddamn greedy that they still plan their opening day shit around vacationers.... so they purposely want Lionshead to be the opening venue so they can book rooms at Arrabelle (for a discount tho).

The market drives their greed. If people didn't pay it, they wouldn't do it. Blame all the dentists.

Drive up mother Cabrini Shrine and drop the Apex bowls next upslope.

[MakersTeleMark]

Once again, it's all (snow, TGR, football) about the jeans:

Summed up in under a minute:

[montanaskier]

Roll Tide

[The SnowShow]

That north facing slope dropping off Heritage/Mother Sabrini would be sick in a deep upslope. Just watch out for the mountain lions!

I live right next to Apex. Been eying the Cabrini bowls.

Raining at 9K’ this morning. Roads should be interesting when/ if the snow level drops.
