I hope this warm weather continues. Yesterday I went mountain biking and today I skied. It sure looks like it's going to be warm for the next 10 days.
April pow day(s) WILL happen. They always do.
Everything I heard was pow and windless this weekend. My personal testing confirmed. Unbutthurt continues.
Butte was good. Teocalli had quality leftovers. Banana was nice and mushy in the afternoon.
Teo 2 never opened though. Map below.
Good to get away from 70 and try somewhere new.

^^ Yeah, Teo2 has some eastern exposures which will get it shut down with these warm temps and wet slide concerns. Glad you had fun elsewhere though.
Inconsistent weather but sunny and fun with friends and family is awesome. Constantly reminded how great this sport is.
Nothing that sweet, but A Basin opened the East Wall. It was super fun, but the bottoms of my skis were not too happy afterwards.

Ok the last time I did this we were followed with a ton of snow for a few weeks, so this for the collective benefit:
With the warm temps anyone comment on the front range (+\- 2 hours from boulder) trail conditions, I've got the bike bug after Fruita last week, anyone been out last couple of days?
^ I was on Dakota ridge yesterday all dry, but looked like a lot of snow still up on Falcon and Apex.
All of the lower trails in boulder are totally dry as of today. Betasso isn't quite ready but might be after the 80 degree weather todayQuote:

That looks super boney. Even for upper east wall.Quote:

That being said, put the summer tires on the Truck today. Still leaving the weight it just in case
Where's pic 3? Nice shot.Quote:

The dirt's probably good but the CF of USFS closures for the next month and a half might make it not worth the drive. I'm jonesing for a buff creek ride pretty bad, but I think I'm just going to wait until everything's open again.Quote:

Take the buff creek talk to MTBR.
I've still never ridden from the Pine Valley side. I look forward to hearing how it is if you go.Quote:

Abay was good Sunday but was utter shit today. I think it hit 60. Saw an f-18 buzz Zuma bowl though, that was cool.
Not weather related but I thought this was cool:
