re: 2016-2017 Season long ski thread. All are welcome.

Nice. Never been on 4frnts before.

Blue sky is on the plan for tomorrow along with mongolia. My friend went yesterday right after they finished avalanche blasting and said it was the best run he's ever had.

Cold wise, the back bowls were fine all day. On the front, it was definitely starting to get nippy around 3pm.

Angel fire got dumped on a good bit overnight. They opened quite a few more runs and there was plenty of powder covering the ice that has been pretty bad the last couple days.

Last day tomorrow. :/

March is a great month! Last year was Miracle March with a bunch of storms. It was awesome.

First lift of the day had 3 bama dudes from tuscaloosa on there, they were looking for the green circles from the gondola . Cold out there today (-24* on way to eagle to pick up bag at 7am), sun went away after being out until 10/11ish

Eta: Despite the cold, another great day of skiing. Found a lot of powder in mongolia off shangri-la and in blue sky by pete's. Had an awesome 3 days out here, unfortunately have to leave tomorrow : (. Looks like the weather forecast is in y'alls favor for the upcoming week

Yall saw this shite at A Basin?

Never understand why people need packs.

Wtf are you carrying? I have my phone, wallet, flask and maybe a couple random things. Fits easily in my coat and pants.

I wear my backcountry pack at the resorts. Nalgene full of water, couple beers, flask, food, and a few just in case things if I go out of bounds. Also nice to have the straps to carry my board on my back and collapsible poles for hike to terrain

I saw the video of that yesterday and recall reading at least two other similar stories over the past month. As someone who has worn a backpack almost every time I ride over the past 3-4 years, it has made me reflect a little. I carry a bag as I bring my lunch each day along with an extra pair of lenses if conditions change, additional gloves and hand warmers and it's nice to layer down if I get too hot out there. A lot of times I have my wife or son with me so I have their lunch as well as sometimes their shoes to change into as well after a day. I can't even tell when I'm riding I'm wearing a bag I'm so used to it.

After these rash of stories though I will continue to wear it but may swing it around to me front side or carry it off the lift to avoid being a YouTube video or news story

Has the uber situation improved any in steamboat?
