Yep, I have a VR pass, and starting in a couple weeks I have 5-6 days/week I can ski until May. :)

Yeah, well it's about a 5 minute drive to my favorite after work powder stash. I suppose that means I can ski every day if I want. :)Quote:

this driving discussion deserves its own thread. for the record I grew up driving in upstate ny, where lake effect owns all
Grew up in Pittsburgh where the sun never shines and the roads stay snow packed and icy most of the winter....people in and around Denver can't drive worth shit!
I'm pretty sure there already is one.Quote:

If so where. The snow has just got me so fucking antsy.
There are a couple places off the peak to peak highway you might find something to play in. I don't know for sure as I don't make it down there much anymore. Probably nothing in Boulder proper though.
No, if you go straight up flagstaff, you should be good. Skins actually stick to rock quite well if you use the proper technique.Quote:

Its looking pretty good on the EC and the Canadian models, which have trended stronger with the trough. The GFS has been a bit more consistent with it and I'd bet it would be similar to today's system.Quote:

I mean i'm half serious. I don't want to ski anything, I just want to practice getting the feel for skinning, in my head that doesn't sound as obsurd as it probably seems to you guys.

let's return this thread to its previous incarnation of witchcraft and prognostication.
The roads in Pittsburgh are snowpacked and icy most of the winter? Are you kidding me??? [cough]bullshit[/cough]Quote:

Next weekend, things start looking interesante.
