Summit County got dumped on. I had the day off and was planning to ski A Basin anyways. Woke up to a 15" report. Some pretty amazing skiing today.

Tuesday's have been good to me.

I did Keystone today, also with 15’. It was awesome, but busy busy. People are starved for powder.

Hey Bamafan how are the trees skiing in Steamboat. Headed that way and I love going in Closets and Shadows but not sure about the 39 inch base.

Headed to Copper in 3 weeks, baws!
First trip to the mountain.

Looking for some great insider tips. Two snowboarders.
I like powder and trees.
Wife likes mostly Blues, but will try harder terrain.

I just got back from Steamboat today and the trees are holding up pretty well considering snow conditions this season. Still some spots you have to be careful in but overall pretty good especially the hike to areas.

I'll echo what SnowAubie said. Trees are skiing pretty fun, especially upper mountain. Just be on the lookout. Still rocks and exposed underbrush all over the place.


Especially agree with SnowAubie about the hike-to terrain. Skiing really well.

You might want to grab some PTEX candles and learn how to use them if you’re heading into the trees with only a 39” base. Don’t let it deter you though, get out in those glades and rip

I'm on Mountain Collective this season and have already done a big trip to Jackson Hole.

Looking for at least one more trip and with spotty snow conditions in a lot of areas I'm really thinking of booking a trip up to Banff in March where they have a healthy snowpack. I went last July and it was awesome, so even if the skiing isn't top notch I know we'll have fun in and around the town.

Question though, has anyone here ski'd Lake Louise or Sunshine Village? Curious how they compare and where I should focus more time. Going to ski 3 days so I'll get 2 days at one and 1 day at the other.

Anyone of you guys use the epic mix app. Looks like they have a cool feature on there that allows you to see the estimated lift line times at the resorts. I wonder how accurate that is.

Any of you here been over to Crested Butte yet, heading there for Spring Break. Looks like the top of the mountain is still closed and only 32" base
