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

Summit County next week

Cant wait

Looks like you got the goods last night. Hopefully you aren't working today and can enjoy it.

My last day in CB is today than back home tomorrow. Pretty good trip just wish we had more fresh snow but the low lift lines have been great. They should have also made Paradise lodge larger as the inside sitting is way too small.

Looks like CB fared pretty well last night. Hit it hard today

And how was it?

Ole lucky arse. Is it filling up there more than usual for Winter Wondergrass weekend?

As a wise philosopher once said; mo money mo problems. I am getting my arse kicked by work lately. Going to make some laps in RMNP tomorrow AM because the traffic on 70 gonna be bad, real bad

It was good yesterday, not bottomless but still fun to play around in and it softened up a lot of areas that needed it. Plus the slopes were empty. Found a few leftovers today which was nice as well. Just wish I would have had one of those magical deep powder days but oh well, was still a fun week.

Miracle March man! Maybe you'll get one.

You always are chasing that next deep day. This morning would have been a 5* powder day at the Boat IMO. The stashes I found were super deep. If I could have gotten first chair and gotten 3-4 runs of legit untracked, it would have been pretty epic. But I worked, so I went and ski'd some fresh but mellow pitched. Fun, but didn't get to ski anything to steep that was not tracked out.

However, it was still super crunchy and crusty underneath. It was -1 at the summit earlier today so we had a huge drop in temps. Basically, a big drop in temps combined with a west-northwest flow means super light fluffy deep snow for the Boat. Unfortunately we had a huge layer of slush prior to this dump, which became pretty hard when temps nose dived.

But hey, it was powder so I'll take it and run with it. Crushing a few beers and now headed to Winter Wondergrass to get weird to some bluegrass.

If a last minute trip ever lines up and ya need, ya got a place to crash in the Boat.

I'm en route to Berthoud Pass with some friends from Boulder for a birthday celebration. Should be deep and relatively untracked

I set out a mission in 2012 to track the snow.

Drove with friend from Baton Rouge to Breckenridge, non stop.

Devoured Breck, then Copper the next day and then Steamboat the next.

I had been at all those spots before and the snow (at the time) wasn't good enough.

Saw brown runs in SBS. Worst I've ever seen.

So we went up to Jackson. Rode everywhere for two days but snow was pounding North.

Rode Targhee (Grand Foggy) and hated it. Couldn't see shite.

Went north to Big Sky. Stayed there a week.

Heaven on earth but I still couldn't get buried like I thought I would.

Point is, just be happy to ride. The snow Gods will never favor anyone or anything.

That's why they are Gods.
