Thanks for the beta Makers. There are good mountaineering lines up Homestake but they don't get skied much.

I did Holy Cross two years ago, that fucker is a slog even with the sled.

Looking good for some powder at ABasin.

Always funny to hear ppl in the mtns complain about late storms or say they’re so over the snow. You live in a fucking ski town, what do you expect?

The WP snow stake is showing 13 inches. I’ll be at my desk at work today.

I hate snow, I hate snow in may and june, why the fuck is it snowing today?

when can I move to the desert
the only reason we need snow is so people can water their lawns on the front range

I laid in bed for two hours contemplating if I wanted to ski today.

Apparently I’ve given up caring because the site of 12” overnight usually makes that decision easy.

PS) I may go tomorrow anyway

So much snow at MJ. Not what I would call “powder” though.

**grskier** · 05-03-2018, 11:52 AM

I’ve been up almost everyday.
You can borrow my setup w/guardians.
Park at the top of Wood Road and ski from the car.

Holy crap A-Basin was fun today. Banged a buncha laps off Pali, hero snow. Go fast, jump off everything. Finished the day with two laps in the Beavs in which I barely saw other tracks.

The Beavs/Gullies have been really special this year with no one in there. I never see anyone until the skin/hike out. Wish they’d leave the Beavs as is.

Really has been a cool vibe back there this season. I too wish they would forget about the chair but I guess that's the way it has to be.

Any idea what time they got the Beavers open today?

At least the Gullies will still be hike back.

I should have gone there. Snow at WP was so heavy it was nearly impossible to go at all, much less go fast.

Did Pano open today? Thinking of going up tomorrow... I was thinking berthoud but without any avalanche forecasts I don't think so.

The new snow was super touchy, cracking noted in resort today. I’d be careful.

It was closed while I was there. I only did the first half of the day though.

**SkiBall** · 05-03-2018, 10:10 PM

We got about a foot of snow during work today, but by the time I left my car was absolutely clean. It settled and stuffed off when the sun peaked through I would guess. Heavy with a lot of water content, can't complain.
