Dumped in CB, would have been the best day of the year for lift served, I think.
I know berthoud pass is probably gonna be a shit show tomorrow but damn it’s looking good
Photo I saw of 18-Road this morning had a nice coating of snow.
ETA: Here it is:

It melted out in the valley already
Very heavy and sticky 4-5 inches near summit. Snow skied better on Tuesday than today to be honest.
How bad is it gonna be tomorrow? Is the whole front range gonna be #socialdistancing together at the same trailheads?
There was about 20 cars at Ski Cooper yesterday. I can only imagine Loveland, Jones, and Berthoud.
Bad enough that I ain't going. First hand reports are that the warming hut and parking lot at Berthoud are trashed. Fuck those people. If there is anywhere the 19 lives, it's inside that hut. Take a WAG bag, park in one of the other lots at go on an actual ski tour versus whatever it's called when the focus is on socializing in the proximity of ski touring. Be awesome, Grand County is on edge. One minor fuck up or disturbance and we are looking at a locked warming hut and a chain across the parking lot.
The warming hut is always trashed.
FS doesnt maintain the thing for shit.
Stop overreacting. Just stay away yourself and dont be a cunt.

Whoooo boy was Berthoud packed today when I was getting out of there. Tons of cars at the top to the point of parking on the road at the top. Folks like those are going to get it shut down for everyone so if you can avoid the area, do so. Current Creek parking was full too. Luckily everyone I saw at Current Creek seemed competent, properly geared up, and in a good mood. Also parked next to and met doebedoe who recognized me by my Protests.
Thanks for mentioning. Seems like a good time to post this PSA here too. I imagine most of y'all already know this, but don't fucking park on the road at Berthoud. There aren't many things that will get the pass shut down, but this is one of them.

Anyone make it to Loveland ski area? Caught the cams during a sunny window and there looked to be quite a few tracks. Curious about how bad the parking was with the lot closed.
Well, all the problem makers be walking home now.

Found some pretty nice powder and light crowds where I was this morning ;) fluffy stuff that fell last night helped out the super sticky snow I encountered yesterday.
Snow stayed pretty soft and dry in the Indian peaks. It was well on its way to becoming bank, though. Had some nice sunshine above the inversion, too.
you probably saw my post on FB, but holy shit it's pretty funny to get your car towed at Berthoud. Because you will have no means of transport, no cell service to call for help, heck you won't even have shoes! And you will have to find a ride at a time when people won't want a stranger inside their car.
By funny I mean fucked up. Not that they don't deserve it.
Berthoud skied damn well today for 8-10" on crust. Just yo-yo'd Perfect Trees for 5 laps. Twas good. Nice to meet Jtlange while we parked legally.
Lots of cars compared to number of people we saw. I imagine many groups like ours chose not to carpool to maintain social distance filling up parking. Will be fucked tomorrow no doubt.
Big slide reported from Ophir. Think about toning it down a notch right now, you don't need to go to the ER right now. 12"+ at Crested Butte, at least double that in the backcountry. Vail was cool with people skinning up the mountain for like a day, now they're saying no. At least 200 people were skiing CBMR today, it was awesome to see people getting outside.
Sun coming out today fucked up the snow but it was gorgeous https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e3f4ceba3c.jpg
