interesting article in the Daily today about how VR can pull from Gore Creek and the Eagle River as long as stream flows don't go below a certain level and they can also pull from their res. I'll try to find a link.

Holy BUTTHURT!!
Seriously man, take that back. You know it is still only January 6th, right? I know it is starting to feel like spring and seems like it's the end of March, but we still have 15 weeks before Vail closes. I'd say that's enough time to get the back open.
Putting things into perspective...snow comparison over the last 4 seasons:

January 2010 sucked, and this year is way worse than it was then. Time for Keystone to get the bike park open and rent out some fatbikes.

BEYOND THE 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE LOWERS. NEXT WEEKEND THE EC
HAS ANOTHER TROUGH PASSAGE WHILE THE GFS HANGS ONTO A RIDGE. BUT
EARLY NEXT WEEK THE GFS HAS CONSISTENTLY PRODUCED A FLATTER FLOW
ALOFT AND COLDER TEMPERATURES FOR THE REGION. SO THERE ARE HIGHLY
UNCERTAIN HINTS OF A PATTERN CHANGE NEXT WEEK...WISHFUL THINKING AT
THIS POINT.

My paranoid self wants to blame some of this on the Fukushima Nuclear Plant meltdown...
Oh come on, the back bowls don't need that much and they're probably better off starting with no snow rather than a few inches of rotten crap. The steeps of Crested Butte, on the other hand- if it ever does snow it's all going to slide to the ground, and we'll have to start over, so we need a major cycle to get much other than the headwall and NF glades open this year, IMO.
Hoping NOAA's forecast for CB is more accurate than Joel's on this storm... W flow so there's hope.
models look decent on this one, looks to be W winds on saturday then switching over to the NE on sunday...hopefully we get slammed good and get better totals than expected, but im not getting my hopes up.
Any of you gals wanna split a 20 hour drive to Canada, lemme know. Leave the 15th, come back the 22nd?
Better yet, you drive and pick me up in Calgary.

VR bringing in the Ute Indians to do a snow dance at the Visty tomorrow @ 8:30a and then up top after that. With the storm forecast, kinda pitching them a softball, but it's all good.
I will be doing a snow dance tomorrow on the beach at a basin with a beer in my hand. Anyone planning on getting out this weekend?
Contemplating driving down to Monarch for a chance at "4-7". Can't decide if it's worth the drive though. Open snow was reporting around 2-4 at most of the I70 resorts.
It sounds like Sun > Sat.
Well we're either gonna burn like hell this summer or it's gonna be the greatest spring ever.
A couple days ago it was all sunshine in the forecast. Not that anything but a spitting will come from this but at least it tells you have fast things can change.
Thanks for the update on the Monarch area, I will save that drive for another time.
