Colorado Weather Discussion Thread

Few pics from SFB. Got some video too and will try to put something together, I'm pretty beat though right now. Was more taxing than I expected.

We waited at the top for well over an hour for the clouds to move out and the snow to soften, which they finally did. It was windy at the top so the snow was still a little firm, but after 100 or so vertical feet it softened up.

Avy debris made the skiing a little bit harder, but not bad overall.

Damn, that's a sizeable crew, I count 7+camera guy. 8 is definitely a crowd for that little spot at the top.

Stfu, I'm pretty sure you've given me shit for getting after it and posting here

The unexpected crowd contributed to my decision to turn around. I have a nice 6" bruise in the middle of my chest where I turned around a caught a chunk of ice dead center.

I don't recall breaking your (or anyone's) chops for going skiing, but anything's possible I guess. I've had a fair amount of shit to talk about Loveland and Breck, but not generally about maggots who choose to ski there. Can you tell me when?

Skiing was fun today. Nothing epic but got to stand on top of a mountain and ski down. Fun day! Sun came out solid for a good hour around 1 pm and made it nice and smooth on the way down.

I was on my last run by then, had to head to the WP side to pick up my kid from her lesson.

The trees were really good. Had a creamy run in Boiler trees.

K dogleg chute was good today. Timed perfectly.

Holy fucking shit!!! Would someone post up some pics from shit for brains today? I've really been hoping to see some pics of conditions in shit for brains on April fucking 23rd. - NO ONE EVER

I skied Castle a couple days ago. The snow was fantastic!

How ya coming along with your self admitted hating problem?

Thumbs up skiers

Thumbs down haters

How I just need someone to do all my jobs and for the weather to improve. I hate getting stupid busy right about when I want to take a month off. Oh well, good thing I worked all of about 40hrs. in March.

In another news, it's snowing again!

I don't remember exactly when, it was years ago, but I just figured you were trolling and weren't being serious. I think Mike is doing the same, considering skinewhere's whole sfb thread. And after seeing that huge group, I'd have turned around, too.

I didn't see the sfb thread... Mike's got a hard on for me because I dissed his girlfriends Flip Flops and Triugly... His thinly veiled attraction to me is beyond disconcerting.

Flattop. I just rode the northeast face. Had my cousin from California in town so we just went and poked around

Found another pic from Friday night.

Nice. Looking up at the East Wall?

Yeah, skinning up Dercum's, between Norway and Len.

Found excellent conditions in Flying Dutchman, decent in Dreamweaver on Saturday. Not sure what the recipe is for dreamweaver to be all-time. I suspect epic May is the only answer.

Nice! Thank you

You're welcome!

Looking across from Castle to Conundrum at my buddies hiking up the Couloir. Apparently the snow wasn't so good over there.

I have a huge exam today.. Then I'll finally have my free time back and will be able to ski regularly again
