Looks like some good snowfall totals for the storm. CB is fun. Love me some secret stash & talk of the town.

Just finished up a 3 day trip to steamboat. Had 9” come down on the second day and visibility was about 100yds, I loved it. The 3rd day was just as good with all of the fresh snow. This was only my second time on skis and I’m hooked.

I'm flying into Denver at 9:30 on Friday night. Then driving to Frisco. This drive is going to be nuts if even possible. I'm hoping I don't get stuck in Denver. That would be a nightmare

You don't think they'll close I-70? Also if that's a serious offer, I may actually consider it . This is going to be a hell of a drive in a rental SUV

They’ll only close it once the accidents start happening. But they’ll quickly try to clear them to reopen it ASAP. The tunnel & Vail pass have the most accidents usually. So if you’re not going to Vail you just have to make it to Summit county.

Heading to Breck Feb 15 - 20. Aiming to ski on non-weekend days to avoid the madness and lines. They’ll still be there but Breck on the weekend is a nightmare.

Forecast looking good leading up to the trip.

That’s usually what I do. I stay in frisco and commute out to BC on Saturday or Sunday to ski.

I'm staying at the Park Hyatt Sat - Tues in BC but didn't think I could make it all the way out there on Friday night since we land in DEN at 9 pm

I’d rather be raped by an angry bear then drive up i70 this Saturday morning. My advice is wait until 11am or so to leave Denver.

For those in Colorado, what Summit county mountain would be best to ski next week? Brec / Copper / Keystone?

Are they getting good snow? My on the snow app isn’t showing much but weather.com app shows a snow symbol almost every day.

Storm delivered in Jackson. And its still coming down. My buddy checking into the White Room at JHMR this morning.



And some bonus scenes from Grand Teton NP last week. My buddy brought his camera along and got some quality snaps in the middle of the action.

Skiing into the tube




Getting rad with ropes




And then my shitty iPhone photo of my buddy skiing out of the couloir. Two short rappels required over the cliffs pictured.

I-70 westbound already closed at Georgetown. Getting out there is going to be the crux
