I wouldn't be sad about it though my patrol buddy didn't mention such when I was bitching about their slowness. But he's a lowly volunteer dude.
My dedicated rock skis are itching to go. Hopefully the PX18 clamps on them don't rip my legs off I inevitably hit some massive rock.

I will say the slide on Super Bowl last year was pretty scary having skied that line 2 or 3 days before it went.
Dry slab huh? You know that's not really a type of avalanche problem. You thinking Deep slab? http://avalanche.state.co.us/forecas...nche-problems/
Deep slabs happen at every resort. They do their best to control them, collect data, closures, but eventually it is going to happen, especially somewhere like LL with that much windloading. They aren't the only resort to have inbounds slides on open runs, it has just happened more frequently there because of the kind of terrain they have. You know, all that terrain that skiers bitch about not being open?
Mister pedantic, the NAC link is for a "Dry SNOW Avalanche" not slab, and your Avalanche Handbook is out of date 3rd edition last updated in 2006. It's older terminology.
I don't work for Loveland, but I do feel their pain. They are understaffed, and maintain a few miles of high alpine windloaded bowls along the continental divide, this coupled with some of the most vocal, bitchy skiers around leads to a funny juxtaposition. They bitch when terrain doesn't open, then when it does open, they cry about it sliding after the patrol was pushed to open it. The same thing happened to Abasin in zuma a few years ago, just after the one at LL.
Bootpacking is a great idea, I've been on a few bootpacking teams. I understand it's positive effects. They probably should do it, maybe they will this year.
As far as "Butthurt Douche" I'm not the one hurling insults.
Sorry get you all worked up Bean. Have good weekend pal.
Potential for winter to get kicked into gear later this week. Today is freaking money up here however.

Flip flop weather in the D.
Heard coverage was pretty good in Butler Gulch this weekend. Hopefully this weekend storm turns out and the season really gets going. I won't be able to ski this weekend so it'll probably be hudge. Anyone get any decent turns in the past few days?

Supposed to hit mid 60s today, hopefully the system coming in later this week will be big. I'm ready to make some turns.
Went for walk Saturday in Butler, maybe 10-12” in the lower sections
MD, the trail should be fine for a skin this weekend. I’ll probably head up Sunday to see how the bowls are filling in.

67 degrees down southwest CO way, good biking weather. Where's the next snow?
Anyone been up to hidden valley lately?
6+ inches fell during the day today up on Vail. And yesterday I was climbing in eldo feeling like a t shirt and jeans were too warm.
I was on Wolf Creek pass around 1000 today. A good 5" on the road and dumping. This weekend may be promising.
