Heard today that Aspen has seen 2.5" this month and Grizzly Res plot is 39% of normal. Stunning #s really. The front side of Vail is very dirty down low.

In other news, who wants to claim the 2 set of tracks in Tuts?

Hey hey hey... that's 2.5" in town. We've had at least 9" on the mountain!!!

**montanaskier** · 01-22-2013, 07:33 PM

As if ski towns needed less attractive females. Anyone else think snowboard chicks are hotter? (I'm a skier)

Also, just got back from Menver. Shot 81 at Green Valley Ranch. Easily short sleeve shirt weather. Sad that this has turned into the CO golf/bike thread.

Rode Marshall Mesa...temps near 70

**georgio** · 01-22-2013, 10:50 PM

Copper Mtn SNOTEL SWE currently at 3.10 that's 56% of where we were at this time last year ... 41% of average. And if you really want to be extra butthurt about it %23 of two years ago.

**Elkhound Odin** · 01-23-2013, 09:00 AM

I have a friend from PA visiting March 1. Maybe I shoudl tell him to stay there. At least 20" man made base is expected there.

**djrez4** · 01-23-2013, 09:06 AM

Brought the rigid singlespeed to work today. There will be an afternoon session at Green Mountain. Maybe Thursday will bring fluffy white stuff.

Went up to Rabbit Ears last weekend. The snow quality was actually quite good in areas not continually baked by the sun. Bluebird day, BBQ, and kicker. And hauling ass at 50mph behind a snowmobile. not too shabby. plans to repeat this weekend.

**MCH** · 01-23-2013, 09:40 AM

Agreed. Skied Hahn's Peak on Sat. Snow in the trees was actually good. Way more snow on Rabbit Ears and near Clark. I would go back this weekend too. My grom starts Loveland Explorers on Sat tho.

**funkendrenchman** · 01-23-2013, 03:04 PM

Please?

Vallee X in SW CO?

Here's to hoping it proves Dr. Freud right.

Red Flag Warning just posted for the east slopes of the Front Range.

Conditions at Breck today: All Time Low.

Here's the Widespread Panic version to commemorate this joyous occurrence:

**bamboocoreONLY** · 01-23-2013, 06:09 PM

AN AURORA MAN LIGHTS FIREWORKS NEAR LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN; STARTS 3,000 ACRE WILDFIRE

(headline in Denver Friday)

**TransplantedFromRMNP** · 01-23-2013, 06:29 PM

Of course he's from Aurora...

**smmokan** · 01-23-2013, 06:43 PM

If anyone wants to do a long ride in the Denver Metro area on Saturday, hit me up. Hopefully Buff Creek is dry enough to spin for a few hours down there....

**The SnowShow** · 01-23-2013, 06:57 PM

Anyone have some thoughts on the 3 to 4 storms lining up to hopefully hit our fair state in the coming week?

Your weekend warrior status has been revoked.

Buff creek is not dry

In my meteorological opinion...

News said there was a small fire off I70 around Bakerville. About .25acre, but still. Shit ain't right.

Haha.

How much voracity are we looking at in that model to get the maximum amount of butthurt flowage? Does an inversion of buttache help or diminish the potential for the accumulative butthurtz?

Serious questions.
