My kids' drop off for AVSC is at Two Creeks. On the chair around 9. Look for orange coat and dps skis.

Any mags ski Highlands Bowl this past week? It was pretty terrible on Sunday with an ice crust under 5 or 8 inches. Hopefully that packs down and then we get more on top. I still hiked it twice as I had a friend in town and the bottom 1/3rd was good. Everything facing south off of DT was pretty not good as well.
Olympic Bowl skied alright...then Monday at Snowmass was really good.
I will be dropping kiddos at Treehouse and Base Village at 9:30, then will be skiing alone if I don't meet up with any mags. All black, white helmet and goggles, rather large black and grey beard....used to be all black...haha"We had nice 3 days in your autonomous mountain realm last weekend." - Tom from Austria (the Rax ski guy)

I'm making my first trip out to CO from Tahoe this Saturday-Tuesday to ski Aspen (and maybe Abasin on the way there/back). If anyone has a moment to give me some tips it'd be much appreciated!
Aspen is big....should I try to make it to snowmass, aspen mountain and highlands (I'll have 2 or 3 days at Aspen)? My goal would be the steepest gnarliest terrain possible as long as the snow is half decent, hopefully with some rocks or trees given it'll be cloudy.
Thanks! And if anyone's looking to take some hot laps let me know!

Ajax, Highlands and Abasin. Skip Snowmass. On Aspen explore the dumps, gents ridge and Chair 1. At Highlands hit the bowl but be aware that unless you are pretty fit you will be doing 2 maybe 3 laps on it(if you hike to the top). Temerity is sweet but the obvious ways down, just like KT get skied out quickly. At Abasin, explore everything off of Pali. Steep Gullies are sweet but dont expect any wide open big mtn turns. Its tight, techy and craggy. Zuma is pretty meh, I would skip it. If the east wall is open def try to get up there.

All good. For reasonable dinner: L’hostaria bar, Red O, Home Team, Jimmy’s Bar, Mi Chola; Bangkok or Bamboo Bear for takeaway.

Looked like it got skied fairly hard yesterday but still may be fun. The North Pole hike from top of Lenawee is way easier and probably worth your time.
Everything is skiing well off Pali right now so probably just check out all that terrain and some beavers (glockenspiel, Alex, jeager, thick and thin) Zuma bowl probably won’t be any good at the moment. Look for west turbo off the Pali lift, some rocks in the top of the chute to billy goat but it’s fast and pretty smooth right now. Steep gully 1 can be done without really hiking just look for the traverse on your right when you get to the part that just seems like an Avalanche path through trees

Zuma Cornice was ok yesterday but the areas you mentioned were much better. Even found old untouched powder in the trees in the Beavers.

Just curious, which model black crows?
Thinking of trying Corvus and Atris next year as a Snowmass ski
Thinking of 102-109 range for when there is less new snow
Sorry for the tech talk (request is location specific)
I’ve been enjoying my regular GPO as daily driver for Snowmass/highlands or any place with soft snow, but looking for something narrower
Thanks

I have the Atris in 189 and ski with six more friends who ski the Atris daily here. I’d prefer to have 184 for most days at Aspen/Highlands, but the Atris overall is a great, versatile ski for our conditions. I haven’t skied the new Corvus but it seems to be raved about.

Ski a 184 atris and it’s a very solid daily driver for a basin/ summit county. Skied well in aspen a couple weeks ago during a variety of conditions

Lapped the Panda Peak headwall with my 2yo this morning followed by lots of fun turns on the N facing steeps of Ajax in the pm. Nice little Saturday
