What say you gents - Telluride or Crested Butte for a guys trip this February?
We’ve all been to Vail, Breck, Keystone, Aspen, Copper, and Park City numerous times. Wanting to try something different this year, and these are the final two choices (needing to keep it on Epic Resorts).

I’ve been to both and both have their pros.
I personally think Telluride is the best ski town in the USA and one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.
Crested Butte is definitely cool and it’s still got that old school ski town rustic vibe.
Telluride is a more remote Aspen. If you’ve never been to either go to telluride. It’s unreal

That's probably going to be primo ski time especially up there. Middle of the week might be tough on my end, I'll let you know though 
I'm trying to hit up as many new mountains this year as I can and this is on the list

The gondola ride into town is unreal.

It’s unreal. Best part is you don’t even need a car once you get to town unless you want to explore.
Fly into Montrose and shuttle up or fly into Telluride. Stay in town and gondola up to the mountain every day. Stay in the village and gondola down to the town for nightlife. It’s truly perfect.

So why did the models start seeing this storm today?
or
I'm really fricking happy to have a storm system to track.
Typhoon Nyatoh recurving NE into the midlatitudes brings it's heat with it and it gooses the jet stream with some energy (the jet stream is telling you where the greatest thermal gradient is aloft, higher winds = sharper temp gradient).
I just want y'all to note how flat (zonal in cloud nerd) the jet stream is. We want to get some wiggle into it to let that cold air down, mix with the warm, and make us a surface low.
So check out what the GFS does at hour 96:
Gets a nice wave to it, and that's going to translate east.
Low gets rocking along the left exit of the jet (textbook shite), and follows the upper level divergence and surface temperature gradient down the divide basically.
A storm with a nice fetch of pacific air, diving out of the NW with a pool of canadian air that's been in the freezer for a good two weeks now.
Snow for everyone!
Now, all of this being said, I wouldn't be surprised if our low track ends up a little farther north. Just the way it's been going. This just brings a little more bust potential for CO/NM.

First system with some legit potential this year. I'm promising myself I won't get too worked up too early.
Posted on 12/2/21 at 1:13 pm to Hogwall Jackson
We open tomorrow. 30" base, 60" at summit.

Boooo!
Trend to split the energy today with a northern clipper across the border of Canada and the southern energy digging deep into southern Arizona and even Baja. The split flow in the jet stream that's been there this whole time makes me think it'll probably do a bit of a split.
Should still be plentiful for WA/ID/UT/MT/OR/WY. I think Colorado will vary, but the resorts anyone around here cares about should get a good dumping. Just see how this is probably going to limit my location to just 1-3".

Finally upgraded my Epic 3 day pass to a local pass. Have 3 days end of January to Breck/Vail (guys trip) and 5 days end of February (solo) to park city booked. Will try to make a drive up to Hidden Valley to take my son for a couple days. Hope to get 10 days on the slopes. I’m so fricking pumped.

Park City and Snowbasin seem to be near the center of the darkest "above" shade.

I got 12 days in last year - 3 different trips of 4 days each.
I am usually pretty wiped out at the end of that 4th day - what I should do is book an extra day of lodging and ski 2 days, have an off day, then ski the next 2 - but knowing me, I'd just turn it into 5 days of skiing instead. Plus an extra night of lodging isn't cheap.

Yep. I think the CPC is picking up on the following system too, which could be a big one, just too soon to put hype out into the world.

Booked Park City December 16-19th. Staying at Marriott Mountainside

Haha I’m staying at Park City Hostel, but it’s a private room shared bath. First time I’ve ever done anything like that, but I’m oddly excited about the adventure.

Snowboarded Vail today and Keystone tomorrow. A lot of trails closed, but the ones that were open were pretty nice. Hoping for the same in Keystone. People were saying Beaver Creek only had 2 runs open this morning. Tough stretch of little snow around the area.

Copper and WP are downright dangerous. Park skiing or die conditions right now. Happy to see snow next week!
Posted on 12/3/21 at 10:14 pm to TigerSaintInDallas
Copper looked sketchy as hell when I went by there today.
The second storm next week, boy I hope the models have the truth of it because that would be super productive for CO. Probably less so north of us, but they should do well enough with the early week storm that everyone benefits this coming week.
