If Zuma’s cornice opens, that’ll be sick. I caught that two years ago during a big cycle and had one long continuous faceshot that entire way down Durrance. Still smile about that one.
Today was downright delicious. First real pow day of the season for me. Did a little hoot n hollering. Looking like tmrw is gonna be a Basin day

So glad ULLR fest kept the hungover people off the mtn in Breck until 11 or so. Killer morning on tbar with hardly a line.
I barely remember skiing. :(
The way the wind was loading today it’s going to be super deep back there. I’m blacked out though, will be on brown pow.Quote:

Please film/take pics if any of ya'll witness this carnage. That stale punchy base is going to DEVOUR many.Quote:

Conditions were pretty damn good. Creamy wind whipped snow created great coverage. No hint of a base or ground.
Now that's what skiing is supposed to be!Quote:

Did Aspen really get skunked on this one? Damn, keep hoping for a big day there to use my MCQuote:

It was perhaps slightly less retarded.
The trees are skiable/almost ready depending on your terrain awareness and abilty to "keep your tips up". The settled snow depth varies from about 40" to 0". Those bitching about no Bird Fart need to catch a clue. The whole deal with that terrain this the evac egress. Patrol has to take sleds down the Eagle Wind to the snowmobile pick up (there is always one there), next is a ski doo ride out to Vasquez then the the base via Whistledick/Village Way/Turnpike whatever it's called these days. This has everything to do with opening this lift. It is a lot of work and requires...snow...to build the road. There is no snowcat access.
Have fun. I think the skiing is pretty good and at least it looks like winter.
We didn’t get skunked, but we didn’t get those types of totalsQuote:

A historic day indeed...I have to wonder if this change is just a holiday weekend thing or a permanent change....same story with the Bird Fart bitching every single year, yet people never seem to catch on or forget when they are told the reason time and again. Welcome back Winter!!!!Quote:

Not many lift lines, none if you know what your doing.
The Jane was doing that front row stuff on the super gauge last year at times.
Did the Basin open Zuma Cornice?
Not the corniceQuote:
