Ok, I feel marginally better, as long as no one is having more fun than me. :P

I just read this thread on reddit saying that the euros only ski on groomers. I cannot even comprehend it...

Yesterday I skied all the bump runs off/under Timberline. Quite firm and saplings everywhere, you could not avoid them. But it was a pretty day and I maintained good spirits, telling myself that I was getting good exercise and I was off the groomers! Then I got home and got an instagram notification...

Yeah I was REALLY hoping they would open those two runs off Sierra on Friday but no, they opened it Saturday for the crowds. I lapped it midday Fri, waiting and waiting. I also beatered really hard repeatedly every time I would try to head into the powder, snagging very sharp rocks. A lot of people's...

"More efficient than just having patrol go lap and side step everything and the public gets some pow turns in. Which is nice."

Also a better plan than just blasting it to the ground and starting over, imho. It's so nice. I've been lucky in the past with SIerra, so I guess I'll...

Well Copper was fun this morning. I got really lucky and was appx the fourth person to ski down Formidable. Creamy. It's good to have something to ski besides groomers.

Some more snow coming on Thursday. I bet this weekend will be a total zoo. I guess I'll ski Friday around noon and try...

If it were me I'd get it done today, asap. Weather will worsen....

And it is snowing now in Leadville

correction: graupel, like last Friday at Copper

Here's my glass half full - Skied with my grandson all last week and had a blast at Copper. They were blowing snow after New Year's, so I guess they are permitted.

We had really good conditions on the man made runs and lots of them, he even skied Main Vein and the Superpipe without too...

Well it started snowing, very nice to see even if it won't be much. Hopefully enough this weekend to fix the surface of existing open terrain....

Raining in Leadville, 37F at my house. So strange.
