Will be up there as well. Have a few buddies coming up from the shitty so I'm not expecting a super early start. Lay down a nice skin track for me! Black jacket on a venture split.Quote:

Can't believe I have to do real life shit tomorrow. Enjoy the goods folks.

Stop being so lazy or go kill the vibe of some other thread.
Back on track, easy drive up, all day powder and lots of sick first tracks. No pics, low visibility and having too much fun. Lines were a little long but the singles moved quick all day. The drive home was interesting with traffic starting at Idaho spring where it normally ends. Once on the flat land you got around everyone who really can't drive in the snow. If you haven't gotten yours there's still a few days left. I love Colorado.
Breck skied great this morning. Grabbed the first chair, skied through lunch and heading back down now. Upper stuff by T bar and over to imperial were all nice. Few fresh tracks, but even the more cut up stuff had good shin deep lines. Only caveat was the line lengths, why I normally don't ski here- but it does seem like they got pretty close to what they reported inches wise the part couple days. Nice day to ski!
Considering what was forecasted, this one was a bust for most areas. Maybe it'll deliver for the San Juans. They're still calling for more for most mountains through today and tonight, but this thing looks over with to me. Hopefully tonight will end up panning out.
who's going to wolfie tomorrow?
I'm thinking of heading down before the ass-crack of dawn for a Monday/Tuesday powder cleansing.
Trip should only be ~4.5hrs each way.
I'll be there. 4.5 hrs might be possible, but if it keeps snowing the way it is right now, South Fork will have around 2 feet in the morning. Drive safe.Quote:

Nice pics, Steve. Thanks for sharing and the report!

I assumed that HV would be a total gong show, but sounds like it was pretty darn good. Some friends skied it sat and said it was already skiing great, but they are less snow-snobbish than me...
We're doing surprisingly well for a SW storm... I'm stoked.
People who made to wolf creek today please, please post pictures. I won't be able to make it out there this week and I want to live vicariously through you guys.
Gong show confirmed. Several groups of 8-10 people all over the place, stopping in the skin track, etc.Quote:
