I didn’t realize the 9 am Snowmass thing. That will actually affect the number of days I can squeeze in.
Working super early and taking a few laps was my MO

The e-bike was also essential in keeping my sanity. I was on it seven days post op and logged a lot of miles with the hound.

RE: wedding. I have performed a dozen ceremonies ranging from ski friends in Carter Park to a coworker on home plate Coors Field where the grooms side were blowing up the dug out to some good friends at Museum Nature Science, 300 people, my younger brother, and others. All still married. I write a good speech. Just get paperwork, sign it and gtg.
Lets talk about this bike for a moment - im currently very injured and looks like skinning gonna be my go to when and if. I am happy about that as there is a lot of exploring to be done hereabouts without too much risk and without actually skiing, I'm familiar with enough of it to keep me happy. - But in a month or so I might be able to peddle - was thinking fatbike - can you tell me about range etc? maybe some suggestions?
Where do you live?
Rio Grand is good for rehabbing and work your way up to the Bells.
The QuietKat’s are the most common since they’re in Eagle.
There’s an ad in the Snowmass Center. Guy’s selling their Jeep models from a couple of seasons ago for $3800.
Throw the stock tires away and put on some studded Wrathchilds.
east aspen - thinking i can get from my place to independence pass and goof around there and maybe use it for touring up there in the springtime - i think i'll either go super cheap amazon or Norco is looking good as an upgrade? - we'll see. shop in town selling some igo's too....anyway I have/need time. tku
The Norco’s with the big battery would be tits. I wouldn’t go cheap, they’re basically disposable and won’t get the job done.
The pass is great, but you will have to ride some road to get there.
But it’s not very busy.
Riding around towns a blast, you just have to be careful you don’t end up a hood ornament.
I could meet you up at the barricade sometime and let you try mine.
Anyone recommend a boot fitter for a punch for length for the 1st and second toe on a Cochise and maybe an intuition remold? Bonus points if they are in the snowmass area but anyone good will do
Jim at BOOTech, Highlands.
Jack Rafferty may still be at Aspen Sports, Snowmass.
Chis Saldono, upstairs from Stapleton Sports, Aspen.
Probably need an appointment.
Don't miss this show: https://tickets.bellyupaspen.com/lin...francis-1-2-24
Last stop on his tiny Neal Comes Alive tour.
Was Chris the one upstairs from Belly Up a few years back?Quote:

I’m heading to Steamboat for work next week. Driving from Denver, I may have a few hours of free time later in the week. Are there any solo touring spots/xc areas I can stop at and stretch the legs along the drive? Obviously being solo, I’m not looking to get into any terrain. Just see some sights for an hour or two.
He may have been, he’s been around for a long time.Quote:

This storm has already out produced and this weekend will be really good!
Grounds Keepers is a beautiful thing.

First stop at 6 am. I only have to bust out a trail to the Hot Tub before skiing.
Yeah, pretty nice report.
Seems to be an annual thing now that we get a decent storm right before Highlands opens. All the jokers and frothers will be flooding there tomorrow.

I thought that last year but it wasn’t really busy at all. Sometimes it’s fucked sometimes it’s not, hard to tellQuote:

Probably more terrain tomorrow.
Highlands opener is always fun and not nearly as crazy as the closer.
Aspen’s Mtn always skis good and is usually the best bet early season.
It’s a game day call.
Ajax was great today, still early but things are shaping up. I love winter

I think we’ll be on Aspen in the morning tomorrow… kid one starts AVSC there. Kid two tomorrow at Buttermilk.
Snowmass was hammered by the time I got there today but that first wave did well.

I would guess they’ll be a lot of openings tomorrow.Quote:

I don't think you will be solo. Vibes, heal up.Quote:

Yeah, that was really good!
1st to the Knob chair and five laps in before it got tracked.
Really really good. Glad I bucked up and got out the door and managed to run into GR and crew.
Great turns were had

Highlands was absurdly good, like a top ski day of all time for me. Multiple laps down DT without a single other track in sight and same story in the bowl. And never waited in a lift line

I heard it was good, that sounds great.
I’m happy to see some skier compaction before I go through there.

Awesome. I’ll eat crow to that!Quote:

did a last minute little trip to ajax monday and highlands yesterday. the skiing and coverage is a lot better than what we got going on in summit county so I was stoked on it. just felt great to do some actual skiing when a-basin is still mostly like 3 groomers and some random limited openings, copper is a little better terrain wise but still not great. deception has some real nice chalky snow right now, fairly smooth buff and very ripping.
Skiing is still pretty good on Aspen… buttermilk needs a bunch of snow to fill in the holes.

Need some more soon or it’s going to be a rough holiday season.Quote:

Gonna try to get up there for a few laps this afternoon. After seeing it in the summer it scares me early season though - people think DT has lots of logs and stumps…
Hero's was good, hallow but good on Friday. It'll be a great addition and will change most people's flow on a pow day.
The rest of the weekend was... FAST.
