There definitely isn't 12" on Ajax... maybe Highlands or Snowmass.Quote:

Going to cautiously explore near marble tomorrow, anyone been there lately? Caic is warning against stuff below and at treeline now. Should be interesting to make first hand observations out of bounds for initial time of the season, test the equipment, skills and stretch the legs.
Snow dance helped, although why would indians dance for it to snow? seems like it would have make their life harder back in the day.

Yesterday was like the best fucking 4 inch powder day of my life :) Strange what a drought will do to change standards /blog
Can't wait to go scape the other 4 inches off Vail this AM. The base was surprisingly springy yesterday at Vail, much more snirt or depth hoars underneath than ice. While nowhere near champagne, the powder was pretty fluffy at Vail, sounds like the snow was much wetter at Beav. Driving down Valley yesterday evening sucked, much bigger flakes near Beaver than on the Vail side of Down Junction. Surprised Beav only claimed 1 more inch than Vail, I'd guess there might be a little more somewhere from overnight.
Cya out there :)
i think traditionally native americans would do a rain dance.
hey whatever pays the bills and gets the man to write ya a check.
sadly their traditional cultures have been wiped out, while some parts are now commodified and diluted. but at least it snowed, everybody should go wash their cars too.
Breck wasn't horrible. Hikes up peak 8 and 10 got me 2 nice core shots. Plenty of sharks in the water.
Anybody suggest a good place for a base repair overnight?
Grouse skied great this morning but then the word got out and it got pretty rocky. Left with a big core shot and a bigger smile.
seemed like most of the snow fell during the day while the lifts were running on saturday which left for a lot of disappointed people on sunday thinking the 5-8 inch snow report was going to be a deeper day
I am guessing the snow will come late (feb-april). Though I hope it comes starting next week.
Bottom of Ripsaw got me, but it was worth it. Glad I listened to rock ski advice above.
The Wed storm is evaporating... not seeing anything else exciting.
Try Pup's Glide Shop in town, great tunes too.Quote:

The western elks skied real well today. I would guess 12+ inches once we got above 10,000 feet. Real light, fluffy snow. Fairly spongy base underneath in shaded areas. Saw a bunch of slide activity, some skier triggered, some natural so we kind of picked our way thru low angled trees. Great to have some snow again!
After Wednesday storm, model runs look way brutal...
best day of the year on ajax yesterday, people were getting after it!
you should re-post the newest 8-14 day outlook to remind people how butthurt they should be. The new snow was just ullr fucking with us.Quote:

Remember that those weekend forecasts are without human input, just the models running wild...Quote:
