found an old school picture of it...its the biggest one skiers right side of the main cliff band..

I didn't drop it cause it was blowing snow sideways with like 60mph gusts and you couldnt see further than 5 feet most of the day.....

want to go back when its bluebird and check the landing out close up first....I had no idea what was in the LZ

Nic pic Phish. Sounds like the weather was pretty bad up there. Hopefully you get it soon.

gaffney's = furthest skiers right (15 to 35 as double stager or 50+ft single stage)

iron cross = furthest skiers left (about 25-40ft depending on line)

as far as i know - don't know the other rocks though

I agree with marshal

That's a cool pic.

That little coffee shop in Empire has cool vintage posters of the original Berthoud Pass ski area.

well the one I am talking about does not apprear to be possible as a double stager...when looking over the edge there is very little as far as platforms or shelfs between the top and the bottom....

then again, I could barely see what I was looking at

Wish I could say the same for myself, today. It wasn't sucky, but the wind had affected everything...hardly blower. Part of it may have been where I went...I probably made the wrong decision... Though, I guess when you do almost everything in life perfectly, you're bound to have a mis-read here and there...

Well today (Monday) isn't a ton of fun, but yesterday waist deep and beyond was had at Snowmass.

**riderspro** · 01-30-2006, 05:19 PM

Breck reported 6 ont he 2pm report? Was that for real? I guess the storm must have hung around there. Anyone hit that?

That's where I think I should have gone today. Patrol was still figuring out what they were going to be able to open at 9:30, and it didn't sound super promising...low vis, high winds they said, so I went elsewhere...but by later in the day, I think the weather improved, and I'm thinking it was good...

**kchri** · 01-30-2006, 08:25 PM

Breck was all about untracked pow today. A hand full of tourists and no one on anything steep. Everything treed near E chair was AWWWSOME.

here is at least 12-16" from the last two days...

More is on its way...Damn I've got to find a way to move up there...
