So cold so deep
Wolf creek was so good today. They got most everything open by 10 and it was game on. Surfy snow, bottomless landings, such a good time.
Goddamn vail has been fun these past few days.
Ricky's ridge to genghis to red square.
Face shots the past 4 days
-22 below in Crested Butte this AM. Anybody colder? Rode up with ski patrol yesterday who said they were going to start working on opening some terrain off the North Face and High lifts.

Re: Loveland Choads
Can the haters truly verify that patrol gives no fucks? Have you asked them there rational and protocols? Go find Bob Klaussen and he'll tell what you need to know.
Have the defenders read the white paper that Highlands Patrol presented at CSAW regarding Persistant Slabs and book packing? (can someone find that on the internets?) Are you aware that some patrols are now using a giant roller lowered by a snowcat to pack starting zones?
Do any of you have any actual experience in above tree line avalanche mitigation in a continental snowpack?
What kind of training and experience does Loveland's Snow Safety Team have?
Do you really care about the answers or do you just like fighting on the internet?
Go skiing.

I guess WP has one. Not sure if it's been used. Maybe half the cirque goes back on the map (shadow, jelly roll) by using it....
Wouldn't the weight of a snowcat be enough? Doesn't seem a roller would be really be necessary.......
Some day skiing will be out of style and we will all be driving snowcats on the ridge.
I get it now. So the cat sits at the top and lowers the roller by a winch, I thought it was just on the back like the grooming brush. This is an interesting read on compaction.

That winch roller is really cool, I had never heard of it. That would be very effective at Loveland.
arm chair experts....jesus fucking christ. i don't think Highland bowl is near the same altitude as the Ridge....so wind loading, slope angle, aspect and obviously other conditions are not equal. What a fucking retard fest.
Terje was right.

WOW...there's never been a better illustration of how much Loveland sucks than those two photos. One shows a good place for skiing, other...not so much. Perhaps 300 feet of comparable and worthwhile skiing in "patrol" bowl at LL? Why does anyone care if this is not open?
It's not even my opinion is just science, the numbers don't lie!
Hahaha
