Colorado Weather Discussion Thread

Pretty strange that both Copper and A-Basin are only reporting 3" this morning. I have 2x that in my driveway in Breck. Merry X-Mas!

[smmokan]

Loveland's reporting 8"... so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility.

[montanaskier]

Over a foot in the back. N aspect stuff like seldom and OS were $$&. The Mile was deep. Best day this year and all of this year.

[BDKeg]

another weather advisory from NOAA, 6-12

after that it looks dry as shit for awhile.

[WTF is dat]

got first tracks in game creek bowl this morning. was seriously DEEP. face shots galore, everybody was hooting and hollering.

rope dropped on Faro (Ouzo??) and that was ridiculous

best day I skied in a long time... so much deeper than 7 inches. pure blower too.

I am soooo stoked right now about the day I just had

[ASmileyFace]

Sounds like those of us who hung out with the family today missed out. Anyone got a report from T-ride or Purg?

[MakersTeleMark]

Pow in Colorado?

Large tornado touches down in Mobile, AL

you must feel the butthurt pretty bad, heh

[Kevo]

Skied vail.

GF broke her snowboard binding, leading to an hour or so cruising around lionshead while she was getting it fixed. It was tough knowing things were getting skied out during that time.

Sun Down was amazing and the best snow I found on the mountain. Siberia opened today, was ok, but not as deep and there is a sun crust right under the new snow. Not nearly as good as sun down.

[BDKeg]

did a short tour out in the backcountry today, north facing stuff was really nice, but stuck to lower angled stuff, south facing had a bit of a sun crust. Pretty hot today with the sun. Hardly any wind from this last storm, looked nice out there today.

Facepalm.

[Wildman]

ULLR delivered big time for vail. Choked on pow first few runs frontside. Skiied more like a 2 feet in spots than the reported 7 inches. Lapped Sun down, seldom, never... all day. Was still getting blower faceshots at 3pm.

[Crampedon]

Good times Wildman! way to find it! Gotta love the wind!

Let's burn a few (turns) this weekend, the smoking lounge below upper snatch. Saturday

[SterlingSpikeDancer]

Will be down at Wolfie for Thurs-Sat turns. Say hey if you see me. Big guy, red NF jacket, grey Flylow pants, 194 D-Senders.

[Kevo]

Also should have noted to be careful with rocks/stumps right under the surface. I hit a large buried rock in sun down tip first, locking my ski on place and sending me flying. Really thankful I was skiing something with vertical release, else it would have been bad.

[hitek79]

Damn, open snow missed the boat on Monarch. Shoulda headed out there.

[simple]

Why are all the colorado ski cams not updating? Half of them are black and the rest updated at 7am. Bah!

[Man Jerk]

Damn, open snow missed the boat on Monarch. Shoulda headed out there.

Ugg no kidding. Monarch reporting 12" new. WTF am I doing here. I'll be up Saturday after the goods are gone...

[PowTron]

Yep, had to come to the office today...however, they may get another 3 to 6 today and tomorrow could be fun. Or not, because Monarch gets tracked out super fast and people should never go there.

[BraddA]

I'll be heading down around 6 am tomorrow from Boulder if anyone wants to team up.

[Rontele]

Blocking pattern in place into next week. Precip chances diminish.

[The AD]

Blocking pattern in place into next week. Precip chances diminish.

Where'd you get that? Just looked at the NWS site and there's a winter weather advisory out:
...A PROLONGED PERIOD OF SNOWFALL TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...

[smmokan]

I think he was referring to the chances of snow after the current storm.

yea looks like it, the early JAN thaw is inevitable. Snowpack should settle out for some nice BC turns
