Figured since several of us have now skied this season, it is time to post up the new and improved thread.... now with 30% more all for the same price.

before work 11/2 near Alpine Springs on Snowmass:

Cheers to the new season! Hopefully we don't have to wait till spring for lines at Hero's to be reasonable.

Yessir!

[grskier]

So.. you have to get over ~10K to get decent snow now…. But the coverage is still passable

Went up Sam’s Knob earlier today. Hit some stuff on the way down but nothing too bad. Was a more than acceptable outing ….. but I might be done till next storm tops things up

[alpinevibes]

Went up Highlands to PHQ. Didn’t really hit anything but you could fee bottom here and there. Plenty of soft/freshish turns to be had but they have rolled most all groomers so a lot of edge skiing.

Nice. It was so warm yesterday...hopefully we can get some more of the good stuff tonight/tomorrow.

I don't see this thing producing much, but the temps will be great for getting some snowmaking done.

We'll be out of town the week of Thanksgiving, if precedence holds, we should get great snow then

I’m hearing 18th for an early opening. Hopefully it stays cold and they can get TtB.

[grskier]

I have heard similar, but depending on what this storm produces.

I'm going to guess maybe not quite enough with 4" on the stakes, although storms look to be lining up for the 18th and beyond. Maybe a top of Ajax opening with Gondi download starting the 18th? There's few of mid-50s days and above-freezing nights next week that don't seem conducive to holding base depth/coverage lower on the mountain

I skinned from the divide lot to the top of the knob yesterday. Up slot then down banzai ridge. Coverage was significantly worse than it was over the weekend.

NOAA has us in the 60's next week which is not great.

I am probably done until we're back on Thanksgiving Day.
