Dry blocking system in the works. Isn't there a football game on the 7th?
Coincidence? I think not.

Suck it! RTR
A little high pressure is cool. Time to get out and do some big tours.
Drove by Loveland..looked like it was snowing pretty good at 3ish...any first hand info? Have they gotten their heads out of their asses and started opening more terrain?
Yes. South Chutes, Cats, and a couple off 4 have been opening intermittently.Quote:

The stuff under Chair 1 didn't look horrible, and someone had clearly been skiing it since there were dozens of tracks. That being said, I don't think LL will be worth hitting until they get at least another 2-3 feet. It's in pathetic shape.
Glad I chose Tequila over skiing...Quote:

I saw you while driving up the canyon from Golden to where I turned off on 40.Quote:

if we get something on monday/tuesday, that would just be a bonus. At least it's been super cold, around -25 in gunny last night.Quote:

Maybe Northern Mtns will get a few.. Joel seems pretty bullish on the 10th for this far out... I hope he's right :)
18z GFS still showed the open trough moving through Monday night into Tuesday with similar strength to 06z. I really care because I am going to Polar Star Wednesday through Friday and then Carbondale for the weekend...
gr, Swim bailed on the trip last minute. Too bad. Love that guy.
It's been inverted and COLD up here for a long time. Love it!
Loveland reporting a 28" base and 74" year to date, I'm suprised that's not skiing better.
Maybe it's the never ending gale force winds that blow all the snow into Georgetown :the_fingeQuote:

Maybe Aspen Mountain is the only one reporting correct numbers, today the base at the top is 10" I believe the other day it was a whole 19". Buttermilk has had a deeper base for a few weeks now according to the snow report.
40oz base reports = the new ytd snow totals, QFT oscillation.

I want some of what the GFS and NAM are smoking.
The actual Ajax summit base is 20".Quote:

What does Vail Pass/Uneva Peak look like?
Boney and sketchy snowpack.Quote:
