Anyone want to ski with me? All my ski buddies are injured (rideski), didn't buy a pass (brother-in-law), have kids (Lurch), or have moved (thommy21).
Me:
1. Epic Pass (10 vail days)
2. BC gear and know how to use it
3. 420 friendly
4. Married professional with a 4 month old.
5. Weekend warrior
Zero- Mrs. S is due to pop, but post baby, I'm good to get into the bc again (RMSP+ inbounds), even as a snowshoe toting knuckledragger.Quote:

RMSP+ for inbounds riding, no Epic pass. Based in Arvada.
I only know the Bear Lake terrain park at Rocky, but looking to explore more. I'll shoot you a PM later with my cell.
Possible. I'm near downtown. Epic pass holder. No BC gear but with 3 kids at home, those days are behind me. Weekend warrior as well this season and it's bugging the hell out of me.
Cool smslavin. I'm going to ski on Saturday if you'd like to join.
No BC because you have kids? Why? My level of risk in the BC is pretty low, so if you want to make some "safe" turns, I'd be up for it.
I am often in Denver but I violently avoid weekends. And also Colorado. But I am good for a day here and there if I'm around and it ever snows again. I am very much weight conscious when touring so usually I carry the shovel handle and my partner carries the blade. I dont care for 420 but am totally NDF.
I'd love to join as I haven't been out in a few weeks. I'll have to check kid schedules. I'll PM you some contact details.Quote:

Do maggots no longer purchase Epic passes?
^^^ heh... I was thinking the same. use to run the epic with loveland for a few years and add in a couple 4 paks to eldora. spent more time at loveland / eldora than anything else so was not getting value. so.... buddy buys a condo in WP and eldora ends up on the RMSP+ done deal
Are the crowds at WP and Copper on a weekend substantially less than say a Breck or Keystone? I skied Keystone with rideski a few weeks ago, had third chair on RiverRun for the fresh cord. Came down the frontside towards the base and it was packed; massive line outside the corral. So we left.
^^ I dont think so but the drive is hell of alot better when you can get off at hwy 40. only did cooper a couple times this year but weekday only when fresh... to avoid the drive
mostly been at the jane on weekdays as that is when the snow fell, no new fresh or very little on weekend I end up at Eldora as very easy drive for me (and I like eldora once trees fill in). was at wp last sat, crowds SUCKED bigtime so bailed before noon. was the last day of a 5 day ski bender so thought cold beers and putting the feet up was a better idea
WP gets pretty busy and the advanced terrain gets hit hard at the Jane, but it’s convenient for early laps and you avoid the tunnel. The tree terrain is some of the best around too. Copper always seems less crowded, and the masses concentrate on Eagle, Flyer and Timberline, leaving the rest of the mountain pretty manageable.
I'll throw my name onto this thread. I have a RMSP+ but focus most my time on bc. I have a level one cert. I am down to check out some new zones. I have a new born at home, so I am shut down for a couple weeks. I am a professional as well as a weekend warrior.
Sounds like we have a lot in common.Quote:

Hey Fritz. Would love to check out some zones with you. I got this new book called "Making Turns in the Ten Mile Mosquito Range". We should check out some zone there. ;)
Lakewood - Green Mt. Based
Epic Local Pass
Always looking to go tour.
Family weekend warrior.
Let me know if you want to grab a drink sometime and hook up
If anyone wants to venture south my backcountry partner had to go back east to settle an estate. I'm in Salida and ski mainly around the Monarch zone weekdays.
Hey Fritz or others on this thread, if you want to ski RMNP or Indian Peaks, let me know. I have a lot of bc ski experience, just new to the area and trying to find good partners. I live in Longmont.
Hey, I still ski. It is just only at Eldora and only during Trek sessions... Also only greens with a 3yr old on a leash... Next year they will both be in Trek. We could tour out the gate to Lost Lake...
Heh. You might be thinking of killingcokes. I'm a different Fritz, but you might be able to find me in one of his other guide books.... Might be some corn harvesting going on this weekend on the front range if the weather holds. Would be nice to find some high alpine lines in February (safely).Quote:

Monarch or WC tomorrow? I might be tempted to drive from Superior if the storm behaves. Anyone similarly inclined?
WP tomorrow AM, anyone around and up for some Alphabet laps?
I have a month or so of midweek freedom, and would love to do some IP/RMNP touring with someone who might know the area better than I, specifically in the Gilpin zones. PM me if in need of a partner.
Gonna be up at Berthoud Friday and most likely WP Saturday if anyone's interested...
Anyone free for a tour tomorrow? I am open to options - Summit/IP/RMNP, mellow/steep chutes, whatever.
looks like the same for tomorrow.... may hit WP if better totals but will check in am. otherwise, 'dora and beers at the corona bar.Quote:

Winter park friday????? I'll be heading up
I might take ya up on WP if I can't find anyone to tour (strong possibility), IM me and we can chat.
^^^^ good riding with you today silly..... the Jane delivered
great day buddy
Anyone getting out for a tour tomorrow front rang-ish?
I just found out I'll be flying to CO for work this week, I have a meeting in Summit County Thursday night and was wondering if anyone would be up for a early morning (sunrise??) tour Friday 5/8? I'll have to be in boulder Friday by 9:00. I'm a mid-20s Denver native who now lives in Wisconsin. I have OEC first aid training, AVI-1 and experience touring. I want to keep it pretty tame and enjoy a morning in the backcountry. Let me know if you can join!
