If you can't take it, stay in the front range. It is gonna go next level this weekend with the forecast sun.

2wd Escalades, A&M hotties, jean skiers...they will all be smiling, how bout you?

Yeah, I used to think the Texans sucked, but they're a chill bunch overall and aren't skiing where I want to ski. Clueless, sometimes, but they're honestly easier to deal with than a lot of other visitors.

How's the body bag glades skiing right now?

wolf Creek skied awesome yesterday. Skied straight on to Alberta all day. Untracked turns all day. Great conditions for WC entire mountain skied fast. Didn't even know there were lines. If you were dealing with Texans maybe you were in the wrong place. Good to see families having fun and the hill making money. Great day for my last of the season in Colorado.

Not sure why, but they have Body Bag and Dead End partially roped off right now. Pretty fucking annoying.

Front Side reopened today, it's so fun, so filled in. 3rd should reopen soon.

Copper was skiing great today. Finally got to see the amazing new avalanche chutes and the cleaned out SKY chutes.

**Leshphilling77** · 03-15-2019, 05:23 PM

Looks like tucker was open today?

Anyone been up to the jones/ butler trailhead recently? Wondering how buried that is right now.

**Wildman** · 03-15-2019, 07:13 PM

Copper was filled with Texans and Tucker opened at 10:30. It was money. Bluebird day with no wind.

Tucker was insanely good today. Found a thigh deep pillow line and got first tracks for a couple runs.

Heading up tomorrow, orange and black outfit on older Wrens chasing a seven year old who will probably be singing Rancid songs. Ask for change.

cool, my friend is trying to convince me to try snowboarding in the morning, but if I end up skiing, I'll be on fat black DPS's with Forza Pivots and very green Atomic boots.

Beautiful day at the Jane minimal crowds. Heading to the Cirque, green jacket grey pants on teles if you're out here

**Leshphilling77** · 03-17-2019, 07:04 AM

**Leshphilling77** · 03-17-2019, 02:20 PM

Looks like it opened 11:30 or so? Hope it was good! Ended up at copper to ski/ drink with friends

**Jong Lafitte** · 03-17-2019, 05:35 PM

Spring is in full effect at Eldora. Finally got a reminder that it’s mid March. Freeze+melt all week it looks like.

I mean that bump looks like it should.

**Jong Lafitte** · 03-17-2019, 05:53 PM

Though, over there we have have had great coverage and have been mostly escaping melt and refrozen stuff which has been nice but its in full force now.

**goldenboy** · 03-17-2019, 06:20 PM

The skiing is so good right now in CB. For all the talk of Epic doom, I never waited more than 5 minutes today on a sunny spring break weekend. Maybe even Vail can't get people to come here.

It'd be great if Vail swooped in, invested a bunch of money into fixing the lifts, then went bankrupt and sold the ski area to the town for pennies on the dollar. We can all dream can't we?

Saw some really nice tracks coming up Wolf Creek Pass this afternoon, heading East they were on the South side just before the summit. I don't believe it was treasure mountain, but a peak near there, don't know all the names.

Unrelated to skiing but notable - was coming West over WCP Friday night, just on the downside I saw what I thought was a big snow boulder in the right lane. As I moved out of the way I noticed its horns, eyes and beard. A mountain goat, literally just laying in the road. Was not phased in the least by my passing. Wanted to circle back for a picture but didn't want to freak him out...but it would've helped me believe my eyes to have some photographic evidence. Super cool, hope nobody hit him.

Edit for cardinal direction correction

open bowl to narrow choke it was the hour glass. not much of a line but the owner of the resort likes to hit it. Nice when the owner of the resort is a passionate skier.

That's fucking huge.
At least Altera's CEO is a ripping skier. Rob Katz, not so much.

God bless. Also love people that moved here 15 months ago saying “Colorado’s full.”

Would rather wait 10min in line with happy people skiing groomers than 5min in line with complaining front rangers or local bros complaining about front rangers.
