Not my idea of fun at all. Would be using a pair of dukes but point taken, booting it will be.

There’s usually a ski track up far G.
Some people on light gear prefer to skin and only ski the piece de resistance.

The long term into March, doesn't look incredibly great, with influence from the Stratosphere. But with a good Pacific jetstream, there's potential for big snowfall events into March for Colorado. Just depends on several factors hinging our way. More details below.

Is that your spam website? How do we know you're legit if you've never told us that you skied today and it didn't suck?

Haven't seen a single post from him letting us know that the new snow skied way deeper than the a.m. report

So it might suck or it might be awesome? Sweet.

Any forecast over 24 hours out sucks, go ski.

In bounds skiing at Wanker was surprisingly good yesterday afternoon. If you can't enjoy soft groomers, well shaped bumps, good wind grooming and minimal lift lines...your grumpy ass should quit skiing.

In other news, all the johnny come latelys #bitchingisthenewrad skiers would be doing themselves a favor if they realized in is not better than average all the time.

In other news, did you hear it has been windy? I was in the land of fried seafood and palm trees for two week but people are saying they don't remember it blowing this hard in 20yrs. And now we are in the middle of a wind event. Chain down the mini dogs and toddlers.

Haven't seen this posted so far; this snowmobiler got pretty lucky on Shrine.

Super lucky. No avy gear and no partner? Lucky there were bystanders. Wow.

[grskier]

Holy wind batman.

Another better week than the rest of the season on tap.... I hope. Looks good. Tuesday and Wednesday should be dope, 'cause I have meetings all day both days.

[goldenboy]

Friends of mine on FB that work for Irwin just mentioned they have cat seats to fill on Turesday. Bet it would be pretty good for you dentists with too much money.

[Jong Lafitte]

Yikes, not what you want to see in feb... at Eldora. Temps were nice, softened up som stuff... by 9 am! Nobody was there when I left. Lot never filled up TMK. I could bitch about the wind but lifts were turning with pretty much zero lines and right now there’s no room to complain about any turns I can get (see photo above), not just for this season, I fear, obviously this heat thing is becoming more commonplace. But hey good fast day and some spring bumps.

If I didn’t have a board meeting I’d head over for that!

[ASmileyFace]

I washed my car and have to work the next two days. It's going to dump.

[WTF is dat]

Did all the snow blow away today?

Here's my favorite shot of groupo tourons from same place last year.... The day before was a hudge dump. I'm shredding the lowlands and I see what appears to be some ants over at the base of shrine in the run out....I go closer to take a look...this guide is earning his money preaching to the choir on the yellow bees.....can't fix stupid.....photo montage to follow in order......

How much snow had fallen? look at my doodles in flats


.
You can clearly see a few micro remotes under cornice


.
WTF?? ummm....guide: "this is what an avi runout area looks like, don't ever be caught right here....any questions, let's move on, who wants pumpernickel on rye, turkey, pimento, tipping your guide is appreciated??"

All the upper lifts at Breck were shutdown today. I did get one tbar lap before they closed it, then I left.

Guess it was the same at the Stone, gondolas shut down etc. Pali spun all day though, not even that windy up there surprisingly.

[grskier]

All the west and some south got HAMMERED

[The SnowShow]

Great MTB weather in Denver today.

The Spine was skiing excellent yesterday. I probably should've gone back today....but I was feeling lazy and didn't want to drive.

High speed chalk surfing at it's best! 3 laps in the gullies were pretty soft in the spots between the rocks.

Agreed. Tad bit windy in parts but so warm.

They ended up opening it again later in the afternoon. Got 2 runs in before everyone realized it was back open...cue the 25 minute waits.

Angel pubes for the win! Second best type of snow IMHO.

[goldenboy]

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like everytime there is a winter storm warning, we don't get much. Advisories- maybe. But the storms that they think will be big don't seem to pan out this year. this one is a dud
