Sheesh, that doesn't look good. With no freeze any snow pushed downhill will quickly melt out. I may be done at this point.Quote:

^ About 100' linear walking on casual terrain out of 1,200' vertical skiing -- that's still pretty good for Memorial Day weekend!

sorry for the fact that it looks like it was filmed with a potato
Anyone know how far up you have to walk up on ND at $towe to be on snow?
farther than you'd have to walk from the west trapps parking lot to get on some good climbs, dood.
And nice vid, EOB. One day I'd like to join all the fun you guys are having in the natch.... hope my bogner matches kencos!
Perfect for skinlaps, better than the mile and a half walk for 300 linear feet x 2 patches at bush south. Not so good for Weekend laps chasing powbmps or The Hammer as that patch is a little long for "fast grassing".Quote:

There was a long, but somewhat flat, pitch right at the bottom. After that, you have to hike up to cliff trail to get the upper part, so pretty far. Best bet for long stretches of snow with pitch are on Liftline, and possibly lord/north slope (the standard opening route which gets the most Snowmaking)Quote:

a little walking down for each ride up is negligible. and it's in the natural breather spot for those of us who don't go top to bottom in one shot.
haven't seen the hammer all spring btw. he was supposed to be out 2weeks back per radio ron. maybe he'll be out for this weekend's likely final four.
and forecast gets better each day...cold nites sooner to keep the melt at bay.

gonniff above the gap...everybody else below.
I thought I saw him Sunday - but maybe not... It was a friggin madhouse.Quote:

But otherwise the skiing is nice enough to nudge even the jaded Dynafit snow leopard into the edge of the picture frame.
and yes, very nice edit. looks like quality indeed.Quote:

Going to poke around for 50' + patches at $towe tomm - if your around stop by and we can examine CO safety protocols and equipment.Quote:
