Interesting. I was down on the front range and drove back up late-ish afternoon and traffic appeared to be pretty light east bound. Who knows anymore.

Yeah I was working yesterday which is on Main St in Breck and it was pretty damn quiet. I've only noticed it busy on Saturdays the last two weeks.

Yeah, yesterday was kinda slow I guess. Walked right up to a table at the tiki bar.
Saturday seemed nuts around town though. Maybe it is just the Frisco highway clusterfuck, or the regatta on the lake, but there seemed to be traffic everywhere and unfortunately my errands took me all over the county that day.

Can't wait for this smoke to go away, hopefully soon, but I doubt it. Same goes for the Covid...

I70 through Glenwood Canyon was still closed, so that reduces the overall traffic both EB & WB, west of Denver. I heard 285 was a shitshow. I70 is back open as of this morning.

Weekdays in Breck have been less busy......that trend started last week. Seems like a lot of the summer tourists have left. Saturdays are still plenty busy with Denver day-trippers.

Hearing thunder has never aroused me so much.

Steady drizzle in Breck. Hope this is getting to the Williams Fork Fire.

Today's great deluge delivered a whopping 0.04" to Fort Hatch. 0.47" since June 26th. #EPIC
Please tell me this shit is a prelude to an all time winter.

[SkiBall]

We’re not not saying it.

[Rideski]

I had a gusher here.
Rained quite a bit too.
Looks like a nice cell over Glenwood.
Some but not too much hopefully.

Vail Resorts' plan for ticket sales/passholder access this year is clear as mud...

- Pass holders will be required to make a reservation before arriving at the mountain.
- Throughout the season, pass holders will be able to make as many week-of reservations as their pass type and availability allow.
- The early season will be reserved for pass holders only. We will not sell lift tickets until Dec. 8.
- In addition to week-of reservations, we will also be providing pass holders with the opportunity to book up to seven Priority Reservation Days for the core season (Dec. 8-April 4), or as many days of access as they have on their pass if less than seven. The booking window for Priority Reservation Days will open Nov. 6 and will be exclusive to pass holders until Dec. 7.
- As pass holders use their Priority Reservation Days, they can book new ones, maintaining up to seven (or however many days of access are remaining on their pass) at any time. In addition, pass holders can always make as many week-of reservations as they choose (or however many days of access are remaining on their pass).
- Families will be able to book reservations together if they are in the same pass holder account.
- While still subject to change, at this time we do not believe pass holders will need a reservation to access our partner resorts (Telluride, Sun Valley, Snowbasin, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, Hakuba or Rusutsu).
- Lift tickets (including Buddy and SWAF tickets) will go on sale on Dec. 8, with sales limited based on the number of spaces available for any given day after our exclusive pass holder reservation period. This season, lift tickets will be sold with a reservation for a specific resort on a specific date.
- Given the need to manage lift tickets sales, they will only be sold on our websites and through our call centers. No lift tickets will be sold at the ticket window in resort – you may only pickup your pre-purchased lift ticket at our ticket windows. We will be encouraging guests to purchase in advance – though guests can purchase a same day lift ticket online or through our call centers, subject to availability, and then pick up the lift ticket at the ticket window.

They haven’t mentioned capacity, that’s the key to the reservation system. Limiting slots or SOP?

They have to wait for government direction on capacity.

Nederland got a bunch of rain today, actual tacky trails to ride.

Apparently it rained in Boulder too.

Hope the western slope got some too.

Rained hard at ~5pm for ~15minutes as I was on my way to Lefthand. The trails were in great shape; the moisture really helped settle the dust on the ground and the smoke in the air. Beautifully cool today.

[The SnowShow]

Nice soaker this afternoon.

rain ran through and nice cool evening, fkna

My kid's having an outside playdate right now, we had to bust out the 10x10 canopy for rain and she's wearing a puffy jacket. Lovely!
