    I just drove by there 10 minutes ago. Foggy, lightly snowing, and the ribbon looks like it has plenty of coverage. They weren't blowing though. (on the lower mtn at least)

    When we got all that snow a while back, they lost their power going to the mtn.

    I'm guessing that with a new rental shop to open, the power prob, and not being the first to open (free marketing) they're in no hurry at all.

    I just wanted to let you know that I see your new "location" and I think you should qualify that by saying which ski area's slopeside you reside at. Damn it, ended a sentence with a preposition.

    saying at which ski area's slopeside you reside.

    Z, I will surely go to Loveland if I can get a ride, mang. phish was unsure as of this afternoon. Saturday or sunday mid day is good for me. I would love to make some turns even if they are shitty and only last half a day (though a full day sat would be preferable.) call me 985 707 4101 or PM. Holla.

    Edit: Number is posted, as this goes for all you other boulderites. Willing to throw in a few bucks for the horrendous cost of driving there. katrina.

    I'm hoping to talk the BrettMeister into skiing for a couple of hours this weekend. Doug and I have a plan for a little wind-loaded backcountry line that should be fun. Close to Loveland. Z, I think you've done this one with us...

    Skiing the groomer has been really fun, but it's time for some untracked snow. It's been trickling pretty steadily.

    I could probably be talked into a few hour excursion into the bc this weekend. I might climb down in the frontrange(I know ) but if not my only obligation is a meeting at 6 on sat night. Whats the plan?

    edit: just got an email at work, no go on sat. either

    "Is it necessary to disdain the affluent Escalade driver in the ski area parking lot just because he never threw caution to the wind and gave up work, meat, and let his hair grow in the surreal international sojourn of powder skiing and self-actualiztion?"

    WELL OF COURSE, thats why I am me and you aren't

    Not going to open Sat. either. They shouldn't even try to compete with Loveland. Just gets all of our hopes up, only to be crushed by the weight of reality! Bunch of slackers!
