I love cryptic spring forecasts. Is it gonna snow? Is it gonna rain? When? What elevation? It looks relative nice both in Denver and Fruita so you front rangers have options.
Pro tip: this weekend will probably be frustrating but isn't it always frustration for the front ranger skier? Too much traffic, too many people, not deep enough, too heavy, wrong skis...etc...
Remember when it was <1hr from downtown brown town to the Jane and it was knee deep pow in the trees for days?
It's going to snow. In fact, it's snowing right now in Vail.
Expect a HUUUUUUUGE I-70 closure from this storm.
APRIL + WET SNOW + DEEP WET SNOW + PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH I-70 NOT KNOWING ABOUT A SNOW STORM AHEAD = COMPLETE TOTAL CLUSTERFUCK

I'm throwing some oversized trash bags into my pack.
When it rained 2 weeks ago or so, there were some Vail ski patrollers wearing 55 gallon black trash bags with duct tape crosses.Quote:

Assuming the moisture comes as snow, or doesn't melt after 5 minutes.Quote:

Nickel pints for any mags who drop by.
Winter was tits for me today.
First lift at 9, promptly when to Eagle Winds and lapped Black Coal until 11am...and I was the only one over there the entire time besides 3x ski patrol. Freshies all morning. Serious good day, left at 11:30am before the Gape's showed up.
Mid 40's and raining in Aspen.
Snrain at top of loge (11,675') at Highlands so I headed home again.
Would rather walk the dog in the rain than ski in that s#it.
☹
Where you going to park? I'll bring some loose change.Quote:
