Well today was fun. Legs are cooked.
I should bootpack the little hill behind my neighborhood next, get a few powder turns with the doggo. I guess there will be insanity at the resort, what timing, ullr.

Toured in the trees in Summit today. West facing, 10.5k, the storm slabs were reactive even though they weren't very hard BTL (4F, F). Be careful if you're touring in the high country this weekend - things are gonna be touchy.

Warnings and Advisories issued for pretty much the entire state. Plenty of obs from today and yesterday. Weather forecast included heavy snow and, more importantly, extremely high winds.

I'm afraid this season will get worse if Mike Vrabel becomes head coach at Bama..........

I’m still around, busy with life and such. Yes the pain from Nick leaving is real.

Skied my 1st day ever at Wolf Creek last Sunday. 24" of cold pow. Face shots all day on the steeps. Probably heading back up Sunday. Didn't stop to take many pics. MrsCF & the car...Attachment 482661Attachment 482662
Things were still dangerous last Sunday with deadfall. The 2 more feet yesterday opened up al lot more tree skiing. skied really deep as only had an inch of water. So still a few things lurking down there. Getting ready to head up. Looks cold.Quote:

Yeah I skied untracked woods yesterday due to powder fever. Can't go full bore quite yet, still fun!
Even on some named runs off Alpine I was skiing through pine saplings sticking up at least 12" through the snow. That was more frustrating than watching for deadfall in the forest proper.
Yesterday at Breck was absolutely fantastic.Quote:

Man - I'd love to ski Main St bump free...Quote:

Now 94.
Had to contribute something to this thread, been stalking it for a long time.
The struggle to decide if its worth the drive from Denver is real. I think between miserable cold, potential wind closures, and road conditions it pains me to consider I might be sitting it out. There's no way loveland pass stays open through the weekend I'd wager.

Currently pretty nasty in Silverthorne. Patches of visibility but patches of whiteout. Snowfall looks like it's picking back up too.
