^^ Amazing conditions at Highlands and Ajax over past few days. Hard to remember any powder days where you wait in zero lift lines the entire day.
Not to derail the ski stoke, but I’m selling my truck camper. Would like to sell to a local and don’t use facebook.
Four Wheel Camper, Hawk, fits a 6 foot bed perfectly. Does just fine on my Tundra. Pm for more pics and info. $5,000
Had a nice spring day ripping with the CAT!Quote:

I’ll be on Ajax tomorrow and Sunday,
Snowmass Saturday.
Ajax open till 6 tomorrow!
Not that I’ll be out that late, 6 pm rez at Kenichi.
Dont think I can get out today, but hopefully some laps this weekend. This afternoon/evening will be a full full slush fest!
Anyone have a shop in the valley that doesn't rip you off for installing tires purchased online? I bought some TireRack tires and it seems that most the usual shops have jacked up their install rates for non-instore tires
Call someone like blue creek mechanics
On another note, will try to come up and ski on Sunday, we are headed over to watch my niece compete in Breck on Saturday.
When I bought tires from Tire Rack they had a list of installers... maybe check the website? Perhaps you've already done this...Quote:

That because there business model on tires is markup from wholesale plus install charge.

Nearest installer is always in Eagle/Avon and quotes $200 to install.Quote:

Good call on Discount. I just gave them $3500 of business from work, so I emailed the manager to ask what they would charge for a Tire rack install
Aspen Tire under Aspen Velo charged me around $100 when I had a set installed in August.Quote:

I've always wondered how long that and the adjacent buildings will last. Some of the last vestiges of 'old' Aspen.Quote:

Skiing.
Skiings been good, even if it’s been gray bird. Not sure 1A will make it too Close.
Big party today at Buckhorn Cabin.
Pretty dismal looking at 6:30, but I think the skiing will be good. We haven’t been getting a hard freeze at night, so some of the lower slopes are soft at the get go.
Yesterday the dumps/Hero’s were soft at 10 and the Face was amazingly soft and flat at 11:30.
Après-ski party at the XO House.
I’m now officially Gramp’s.

Fun times this weekend. Good stuff up at Markley and the boys both skinned both in and skied out of the hut, so they were very proud.
We all caught a final Ajax lap together after some CP Burger. Another great season in the books!
That’s awesome!
Yesterday was an outstanding closer and my 130th day on the lifts.
It was great they ran Bell, the vibe was off the charts!
Perfect weekend. Saturday ended up being a perfect touring day we got up on cathedral and it was great, then as ideal a closing day as you could ask for yesterday. Aztec was stupid fun. Not ready for the lifts to be done I could happily slush ski all year round
ASC was Jim’s baby.
Now that he’s gone, I’m hearing the possibility of divestment.
Ugh, I really hope that doesn't happen any time soon.Quote:

Same with Maroon and Dinkle
It wasn't last Sunday, and plenty of snow and snow patches still on the road then.Quote:

Road is cleared, gate is closed above Ashcroft.
Biking has been $$ in the mid valley. My allergies are making me not ride right now though.
Rode Smuggler/BTS yesterday and that was good. Maybe some midvalley laps next weekend.
Really need to go skiing…

Ran into another couple from the RFV at the Little Palm.

RIP Weems Westfeldt. :(
I imagine some of you here knew him or his family.
Had the pleasure of spending summers in RI with him and his family. Taught me how to windsurf. Babysat for his kids. Made several trips out to apsen/snowmass to ski with them. He was a funny, smart and unique individual. You will be missed.
I didn’t know Weems well, but he was an Aspen legend.
RIP
Didn't know him but I've skied and been on some trips with Packy and his wife a bit and gotten to know them some over the hears. I'd heard about Weems and his presence in the Valley and industry over the years. Legend!Quote:
