Do you know why I'm eager to switch to biking this time of year?
Because I'm sick and freaking tired of dealing with the resort bullshit. I know, I know that the backcountry is prime but it sure is nice to get away from I-70 and the subsequent gapers that said I-70 is wont to attract.
True, but there’s next to nothing open in Eagle until April 15th.Quote:

Soon, my precious, soon.Quote:

I've heard there's a forum where they talk about how great mountain biking is. Rhymes with "Empty Beer"

Also, I think this is the CO weather thread.

Kathy Sabin is old news. Just like snow in Colorado.
Unguided at Silverton these next two weeks. Anyone coming down?
Belen (forgot she left for LA) and Corey aren't slouches either.
To keep this super serious weather thread on target, I started a thread in the general forum about the 14th at the Jane.

dumping in breck, mid week powder day tomorrow, but it'll prolly stop snowing in a few mins, so don't get excited
Does anyone have ytd snow totals for Beaver Creek in 01/02, 03/04, and 04/05? I am finding 195, 221, and 193, but I don't remember those years being that lean. Thanks
Snowmass was good today.
Empty too.
How and when the snow falls, is way more important than totals.
Those are right, there was less snow back then but it seemed deeper because people were shorter.Quote:

but seems fairly logical that the heavy heat and sun in between snowfalls would make 150 this year a bit less plush than 150 in a cold dry year.
Yep. That's why 2012, even if it ends up being less than this year in CB, was actually better. This year, there was basically no snow until Feb., but by then the snowpack was shit and no snow could stick on the steeps. 2012 at least had some terrain open most of the year, even if it wasn't great and there was no snow in March at all.Quote:

Twenty years ago, you could ski lift served pow for days. Now even the trees are douched out in an hour on a Wednesday. Just how it is. Plenty of other ways to have fun none the less.
^^^ right on
Skiing is only a blip on the Colorado living radar.
This is absolutely true, I've found that in Colorado snow that falls downward and in between the months of October and May usually skis the best.Quote:
