Looking good, for tomorrow. I'll be up there. I just looked at the parking, and you can get a spot on the app, but not the website.

Hawk we must have crossed paths up there. I’m still smiling from those muleshoe faceshots. Agreed salto was $ Attachment 364812
In other news the shit show was in full
Effect at corona chair by 1030. Most of the front range showed up.
Wildman, must have missed you, was there too. Good morning. But definite shit show.
Looks like you got it good in Salto wild, well done!
Great laps Danno! Conf call success in CO sun with cold beer.
The inclement weather office is good to go.....

Hawk is that in placer? Danno I must have missed the fact that you were coming! Sorry mang. Next time fo sho!
I had the same view as Danno coming in. It took an hour to get up shelf rd. The bus even got stuck.
Hawk you'll have to show me your secret texting spot some time. I had service but I couldn't get one out, no matter how many times I tried.
It was a good one. Best run I had was down Placer. It was mostly untracked, if you went far enough over. Salto was fun too, but you guys mostly beat me to it. Glad the trees are finally getting good.
I'm heading back up in a bit with the kid, if anyone else wants to join us for some kid skiing.
no worries; would be good to make some turns this year! And while I didn't hit that shack yesterday, hawk has taken me there and shown me the secret handshake, it is not in Placer.Quote:

I would be up for a Wed mini.
Been rough year at Eldora, think that makes 4-5 fatalities this season.
Bad few days for Eldora. Hope you guys are staying safe, out there.
I saw they also had a power failure, and closed early.
It was a 16-year old that died this morning, ugh ugh ugh and both boarders died on the trail. I cannot imagine Patrol and everyone involved going through that twice in such a short time. So sorry for all.
Looks like a little snow, tomorrow. I think I'll be able to make it up for a few hours, if anyone else wants to ski.
I got up today for last two hours. Man, the last few days of sun really cooked everything. It was snowing HARD but started too late to buffer the frozen base. But should snow well into the night and hopefully will make for a good Fri morning for some folks. Warm and sunny again though then tmrw through well into next week - ugh
Well the 2 weeks of winter was great while it lasted!
If anyone is up today to spin some slush laps lemme know.

Well, the 3 weeks of winter were great, it's spring now. We need a ton of snow to get back to winter, otherwise it's probably only worth skiing the warm days.
Still beats working.
Your wish is mother natures command... upslope in the forecast!
How about Wednesday the 31st for a mini?
^^^ works for me, i'll show up.
I’ll be in LCC! Party on!
I’m a maybe. If I can get away from work I’ll be there.
Anybody got a spare parking pass for this weekend?

That was just a random pick, trying to avoid spring break. But we can pick any date that works best.
Just a heads-up - that's JeffCo spring break.Quote:

^^^
You can definitely have one of whatever discount passes come with my Ikon base pass, but no idea what those are.
Agreed it was a good time but I'm not taking a day off to ski Eldora. Since it should be pretty mellow there this weekend we should shoot for Sunday:biggrin:
The discount for a buddy pass is 25% off ticket price I believe.
Well, the *smart* ones don't.Quote:

This weekend is going to epitomize the Eldora Cluster.
With all the snow, people are going to be desperate for reservations.
But:
Roads will be closed.
Chairs won't be turning
If people can get through the access road will be a parking lot.
I'm betting on the Tuesday- Wednesday refresh after the weekend settles down.
I'm hoping Monday is soft. We will see. Clusterfuck seems like a good bet...Quote:

im dumb enough to ski eldora
will make this storm cycle even if i have to sleep in the lot. ive been blessed by 2 different days of +16" and the road from boulder blocked by a bus, pure bliss. lifties taking turns lapping, high 5's with strangers, bought a round at the bar one day, that hurt so good. its a diff vibe since the vid but its under the skin.
lifts dont spin the skins go on. got fri, sat, sun afternoon access so far.
as far as mini, ill be there, open all days for most part. bfast sammies on the list
edit: monday should be great, this storm already slowed down. hope it stays in first gear all weekend
