That's Rojos Calientes...they're very sick. Any mags up at Keystone tonight should check em out at Kickapoo. I'll be there.Quote:
The dude I am seeing is named Hubie and he is apparently playing mandolin with some band. He is more of a friend of a friend though and I haven't seen him in ages.

I suspect it's to allow for more on mountain dining options, apres in vail village, and to schralp selected groomers. I'd highly doubt if the trees are in yet, but, I've been wrong before. Beav will get more than Vail from this storm I betcha.
If you're in Keystone tonight, go to the Goat and see The Marvin Heemeyer Experience
Anyone have a road gap permit for Southern Colorado? I totally want to gap the shit out of all of this pow.

I heard that if you case the landing and tear an aorta the State Troopers won't fine you.Quote:

Go hike! I'll take stumps and rocks in the BC over the crap ass powder on ice fighting the masses B.S.
Hike, but be careful. CO snowpack sucks right now. Faceted all the way to the ground.Quote:

Thanks for the heads up, FZ. Is there cell service in Poncha springs?
Edit: Does Wolf Creek do an early snow report? 6 am or earlier?
Did you even find a place to stay there? I can't say I remember much and I drive thru there all the time.
You might be able to get some there, but service in the north end of the valley is very spotty. I always hseem to have to be about 15 miles S of there. Thare is a small spot where I can pick up service right near Villa Grove but that's another 15-20 miles N.
Why now hit Salida/Poncha. 120 miles to WC and 100 to CB but with all the amenities?
Cuz I just didn't think of that! :pQuote:

It's been raining all day in town, but I am sure it is dumping 500ft up the mountain.
Guess I'm glad CB is at 9500'- no rain, but it has been snowing since I woke up. It's not necessarily worth the drive for you front rangers, but Paradise bowl and Ruby chief are the half-decent runs open right now.
Powday with girls tomorrow. Powday with the bros on Sunday. :cool:
Sooo, when's the colder air coming? Still 39 degrees outside 39 Degrees.
edit - make that 41
According to Blurred, it is actually 28 degrees.

ok so far this is the worst winter storm ever. 39 in Vail and rainy at 5. We left headed Keystone (more on that later), at 5:30 on Vail Pass it was puking snow and 28 degrees. Got to Dillon and had dinner, just some flurries. Got to Keystone and started skiing at 7 and it was clear and 35. Left Keystone at 8:30 and it was clear and 38. Copper was cloudy and 38, Vail Pass was flurries and 35. Back home in Vail and it is cloudy a sprinkle or two of rain and 38. Great fucking storm so far!
36 Hours of Keystone was the most ridiculous junk show of people....EVER. Oh my god did that suck.
Been snowing in Leadville since 11 or so this morning. Maybe 6+ inches or so in my driveway. Still flurrying a bit. Hoping it picks back up tonight like the weatherman says it's supposed to.
LoL what did you expect?!?Quote:

psst
the storm isn't even here yet. ;)
Check the radar.
5 degree temp drop in the last 45 minutes.
And yes, there is A LOT more to this storm!!!!
Wow, its kind of depressing reading the posts from all the idiots on here. Just let the snow fall....
think I see a flurry here in Vail.....wait....wait....nope still raining at 5am.
Damn. Just looked outside and as a quick guess, there's close to 10 inches on my porch railing at 10,000 feet. Looking forward to today.
A foot of wet shit on the ground here at the Grand Lodge in Mt. Crested Butte. As temps cool, it will mean a soft base with fluffy stuff on top. That sounds good, right?
Wolf Creek Pass: 20 inches forecasted today, and 10-16 tonight...
Wholly effin' shit.
Snow out West!!! Praise Ullr, now we won't have to listen to all the whinning anymore. Still kind of a ? for New England. Off Sunday to Thursday, house offer just accepted, and it's gonna snow...alot. Life=Good
Well woke up nice an early to check to see if anything has fallen and it looks like this storm is damn slow.......if we talked about this for 7 pages and it turns to nothing up here i'm gonna be pissed.....Looks like Aspen is getting some good snow now though.....enjoy Funken.....send it up here to SuCo please.....
Silverton update:
December 1 updated
WE ARE CLOSED!!! 24" OF NEW IN THE PARKING LOT!!! POWER OUT, HIGH WINDS, COUNTY ROAD VEHICLES STUCK ON ROAD, GO TO PURG,T-RIDE,& WOLF TODAY!!!!
36" in 48 hours
puking here in Vail finally.....I never had any doubts.
a few inches on the ground in Fraser (730am). but snowing hard.
I woke up to 6"-8" on the ground at my house in Alma and it's still coming down. Was hoping for more than 1" at Breck, but this is typically when the moisture comes out of the SW. We'll take anything we can get.
wolf creek reporting 32" and the cam shows that it's still coming down pretty good. i hope vail gets at least a foot out of this.
Hey Colorado, we stole your snow. Atleast the dry shit. Its all here. It's amazing.
rained all night in Salida. the webcams on Monarch pass don't look that great yet. More coming today? Hopeing....
Big in Southern CO and very little Front Range so far.

I am talking out my ass sitting in Reno, and dont know much about your storm, but.......
Raining at the base can be a GREAT thing! That means paste all over the mountain. Happens at Squaw all the time and allows amazing lines to be skied, and a great, safe, base to start the season.
I think this is could be a good start for you guys.
Nope, you're exactly right. This was just what the doctor ordered- over a foot and counting of wet snow (CAIC said something like 3" of h2o content in the 17" reported at WC pass). Time to go schred the landing strips...Quote:
