At least it won’t be on mornings where the hard core folks are frothing for a I control to finish… that said, there would be a mutiny if they held the rope until a group was like 1/2 way up.
Stuff like that happens at other mountains

Exactly, only Wed and Fri and presumably only on non-storm days when control work isn’t happening. Still a lame, new money-chasing concept, but that’s the world we live in now.Quote:

jong questions i'll try and keep it brief. have a work obligation in parachute I should get out of by 11 tomorrow (tuesday). want to try and sneak in some laps at aspen that afternoon.
I know nothing about aspen, can anyone direct me to where this would be the most efficient on the 4 mountains they have with parking/sliding given current conditions? I am ikonic.
thanks and sorry.
Aspen Mountain for sure.
Park on Ute Ave for a short walk to the Gondi.
perfect, thanks shred.
Yeah, park anywhere in downtown with 2hr free parking and go rip some laps. Should be nice tomorrow with less crowds.
Yesterday was fun, bit of a zoo (when skiing with 4y/o) but nice to have additional terrain open. Stoke was high and good to be back on snow.
Hammered like 50 VX laps with my 5 year old yesterday then we shotgunned hot chocolate afterwards, sick day
Are those like 60 second laps, where it takes 5 minutes to get up the hill on the slow double chair? I might have to bring my ski gear with me for the Xmas in CT with the in-laws.Quote:

I ask because yall gave me some excellent advice in the last thread about planning a monopalooza trip to Aspen.
Since then, @OregonDead and I got engaged ([emoji3059]!) And we thought we might take a day during our trip to do a funky elopement and try to convince one of the celeb monoskier people to be our officiant. Our whole "thing" is being the fun loving monoskier-snowskater couple, so we want to do it a little quirky.
All the bridal blogs keep funneling me back to the same local photographers' $5k Maroon Bells elopement packages. "Search engine optimization".
Maybe you fellas have some better insight or silly ideas to toss around?
Appreciate you in advance!

One of my son’s buddies is ordained and marries people up on the hill.
Do you have his website or can pm me a name?Quote:

A couple can attest to their own marriage in Colorado. No 3rd party needed. Spend the money on ACL surgery.Quote:

If you wanted to b e Dumb and Dumber you'd go to Breck where it was filmed, but be aware it is a shopping mall ski area
Pretty snowy; kinda down in a hole surrounded by trees next to the river. But you could figure something out on the snow if you really wanted toQuote:

Let me know if you need a witness, I'm upstairs in that office.
We're planning on doing a little wedding out on the ridge this summer. Great spot for accessible views. Wedding photographers around here are not cheap but I'm sure you can find someone on the swap who would come out for an hour or two
The ridge dynamic could change a bit once pandora opens since people will presumably be skiing by and maybe stopping in some of the viewpoints close to the sundeck but I'm sure you can still find a nice quiet spot
Witnesses are not required.Quote:

Was hoping Snowmass would get some additional stuff groomed and open this week to avoid the bridge project. The backup through McLain flats was substantial too.
Same I have an appt up there today and wanted to rip a few laps before my 2:30

RFTA is the way
Skiing is still good on both mountains particularly in the am. Looks like Copper is ready to go, I can't imagine Max park and around the knob at snowmass can be far off either.
If we get what is predicted we'll have some terrain openings as well...
Surprised Snowmass still doesn't have Max park open, but you can see rope lines set and signs up on the roundshot at the top of the knob. That said Hal's Hallow is my preseason jam if I have to be over on 'mass.Quote:

Looks like a better-than-expected weekend shaping up. The delayed start call was a bit soft, but oh well...
Looks like Max Park opened today.
If you've ever ridden up it in the summer to ride Uncle Sam, you'd know it's rocky AF.
Pretty solid even though I wasn’t skiing till 1:30. Christmas Tree, Sunrise, Shoulder still deliver after getting mobbed.
Could be a big day tomorrow

Never seen a forecast miss by this much. 12” Sat- Mon, huh?

Big miss by all, but hey it happens. Surprised by the CAIC miss, they are usually spot on. They all did call the wind though.Quote:

I think it doesn't feel it for a few reasons, mainly:
Last year was a banger early season
A bunch of that October big storm melted/compacted/got lost to wind, etc.
Today was my first day skiing since I fractured my ankle 3/22 and 47 days post OP TKR. It felt really good!
Gorgeous day with pretty dam good surface conditions.
Sucks Snowmass doesn’t open till 9 this year.
