Not everyone.

"Y" chute was skiing pretty well too on Sunday.

Ticket bought. Take of Tuesday feb 4 for the morning anyway. If there is no fresh I will haul a pack to a grill and feed any who rsvp.

Big talk I know, pray for snow.

I was in Colorado last week and all I can say is thank God for the new snow on Friday. That made it tolerable, but it sure was brutally cold over the weekend. The positive is it kept a lot of people off the mountain.

2/4 is a Monday. I'll be crushing the groomers over the weekend and Monday morning before heading to Breck to unleash lawyer whoopass on some deadbeats.

How's the beav lately? I'll be up there this weekend at a friend's place, and MLK crowds and sketchy conditions are making me wonder if skiing will even be worth it.

**georgio** · 01-16-2013, 03:11 PM

Heard from a handful of people that the beav is skiing the worst out of all the area resorts....

**cmsummit** · 01-16-2013, 03:35 PM

The snow quality in Lulus/Humbug/One Eyed Jack at Breck is quite good. Peak 7 looks to be pretty wind fuct.

It's not good. Bring the rock skis if you want to ski Grouse Mountain.

I left the 9th and it was skiing mediocre but getting worse. Not much new snow since then so I would expect it to be pretty bad. The holiday crowds absolutely destroyed the hill. Same with Vail. The Vail bowls were OBLITERATED by everyone and their mother cousing etc. Since Vail is so huge there are some decent spots. Mostly NE to E facing. Anything W-SW-S-SE is in very bad shape. Blue Sky is horrible. Do not be tempted to go ski there just because its open. Cloud 9 is bad but Big Rock park is, pardon the pun, rock city. I scraped my skis quite a bit there. Its nasty.

Temp inversions and the sun really did a number on Siberia, China etc. Crusty crud mess all over the bowls. It was warm back there for days, in the 40F range.

this is what i really wanted to know. ajax skis great in low tide conditions so i have been on my new sticks, sounds like i should leave them at home in the event that i do decide to ski.

thanks for the beta, dudes

Poopghost and I are getting a couple rides in this weekend if anyone wants to join us.

**montanaskier** · 01-16-2013, 10:03 PM

The Beav is thin. I'd ski groomers at Bachelor

Not sure where or when yet, but given the shitty conditions in the mountains and the nice weather down in town, I'm getting outside somewhere. I'd love for Buff Creek to be rideable this weekend, but I'm not sure that is going to happen yet.

Aspen's hosting a televised even. Dave Perry's going to owe the devil big time!

Leaving Colorado, going to ski out east @ Jay Peak the rest of this season. I hear its way better there than here...

I hope you guys pull out of this dryspell for the late season. Good Luck. Next Season HAS to be BIGGG.

**hatchgreenchile** · 01-17-2013, 04:46 PM

You know the butthurt is really stinging when Ski fuckin’ Cloudmont is getting more new snow than anywhere west of the Mississippi.

**Banh Mi** · 01-17-2013, 05:03 PM

for sure some butthurt, but more wallethurt at this point...I do not feel comfortable spending even a dollar more to stay in this snow forsaken state.
