Sure things might change moderately on south facing aspects. But it's not been warm enough with high enough humidity to significantly metamorphose the crystalline structure on north facing slopes.

So many whiners here think they're gods gift to snowsports and believe packed powder is hardpack. East coast guys. Chime in. Or go take a hot lap down Birds of Prey or the Ajax DH course. That's hard pack. But absolutely carvable. You clown shoe skiers may want to swap out gear and change up the skill blend.

I skied all LL lifts at the basin and saw maybe 10 people Saturday and Sunday who were actually ripping and carving turns. NTTAWWT.

Though a dump or 10 would be great.

It graupeled this morning. Winds shook the house. Maybe we get a little snow, or maybe it adds up on Monday... or maybe it all blows to Kansas:

Super fun sleeper day at Abasin. Was dumping up until I left at 12 and no lift lines. I’ll take it.

I’ve really tried to stay positive, but after this storm is missing us again, I’m def loosing motivation. I’ve only got about 20 days this year and am leaning towards riding my bike today instead of going to the hill. It is super grey out and feels like spring. I’m going to go ahead and say it. Ullr has turned into a total pussy

You're totally wrong on this.

This is Ullr's punishment.

Expect more.

Punishment for what?

What do we need to do to get back in his good graces? I could post pics of nekkid chicks, but I don’t think that is allowed anymore.

Hey, there’s a thread for this type of bitching in the ski and snowboard forum. ;)

I’ve been bummed about the conditions but I have definitely made the most out of this season. Shit, I’ve skied more pow inbounds this season than I did last season, but I’ve gotten pretty lucky with the days I’ve skied this season and the rope drops I’ve caught. Conditions are definitely thin but it’s all about making the best of things. I haven’t had any real days in the backcountry though which is kinda a bummer.

It could always be worse I suppose.

Fair enough. I’ve actually skied some decent snow as well. I did go ride my bike today, but I’m going skiing tomorrow.

You don’t really think that will help make it snow, do you?
