I just pasted the same thing into the old it's snowing in colorado thread. So are you not skiing or not not skiing

**FigureEleven** · 10-20-2006, 09:44 AM

Good stuff, there's a warning out this way as well. They also just shut Indy Pass right as Funken and I were headed up to ski, so hopefully CDOT knows something I don't.

Ouch, we were thinking of heading up there tomorrow am if they kept it open. Oh well, they are calling for up to a foot here so its all good

Skiing is so overrated nowadays. It's all about the fuzion right now:

Think I'll go hit Sneffels on my Fuzion board that Nextsport sent me.

Yeah, but are you within the age and weight parameters for that beast?

Ssshhhhhh! I lied to nextsport just so I could get my hands on one of these things.

I'm gonna re-pioneer every fackin' route in Colorado on this sucka! Woot woot.

If you attached snowlerblades to each of the wheels and a parachute to the back I'd that thing off the summit of wetterhorn.

You can all thank me for all this early season snow since the new baby means no skiing for me.

**board** · 10-20-2006, 10:29 AM

This snow sounds promising ! Rock board at the ready.

IRLTS - this is a new baby ? as in your second ?

**LaBelle23** · 10-20-2006, 10:33 AM

For Loveland Pass: Chance of Precip 100% for today and tonight, 90% tomorrow

I like 100% chance of precip predictions.

**Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo** · 10-20-2006, 10:35 AM

It already snowing here. Kinda just spitting buts its been going all morning

**JoeStrummer** · 10-20-2006, 10:37 AM

I don't know if this makes me more inclined to drive to Aspen or less inclined. Thoughts?

The pass is closed and there really isn't that much you could ski at the moment.

The pass is closed the CDOT worker out front in the Carharts should have told you.

I know that was pretty lame but the snow is making me giddy

SWEET! Congrats man !

**FrankZappa** · 10-20-2006, 10:45 AM

Blue sky here in the valley but definately looks like full on winter up in the Sawatch today. Might have to go have a looksee this weekend.

Wish they had more of these cameras in places like Indy.

**homerjay** · 10-20-2006, 10:47 AM

Snowing steadily in the Vail Valley right now, had about 1-2" on the porch this morning. Probably pounding up high.

Closing up the office early and heading out with the dog to get some exercise and skinning in this afternoon.

Good point - I shouldn't let my desire to get out of Denvoid interfere with the irrefutable logic of no access.

Maybe I'll try Berthoud tomorrow, instead.

**cab** · 10-20-2006, 12:07 PM

berthoud is gonna be off the hook yo! Maybe i'll ski loveland.
