You do know what WROD stands for, right?

Welcome to Colorado. The wind brings it and takes and takes and takes...

We aren't in Utah anymore.

Winter is wind season!

Nice day to fly a kite!

Parasailing is the new skiing!

I can only imagine how windy it must be on the divide as windy as it is here in CB. At least we did well, 9-10" here.

Peak 6 weather station hit 104 mph.

totally dry from this side of WC pass all the way up to BV, except for the very tops of 14ers, which still look pretty thin.

Skied some sweet low angle pow with my daughters and another family today.

No WROD in the San Juans.

It was my 13 year olds first legit tour. Good times.

The snowpack in a wind-protected area, west facing slope at 12000 as about 60cm deep, bottom 10cm facets, top 15cm new stellars.

FKNA!

Awesome stoke tech tonics!

Impressed that your daughter is already pulling skins like a pro!

I've never been able to do that without falling down.

After teaching my older daughter, I have the technique down now.

You too can learn to rip your skins without taking your skis off. Maybe I should start zoom classes.

156cm skis help.

**tang** · 11-19-2020, 11:45 AM

I finally got it down last season... but always at risk of pulling a muscle or tearing a ligament!

I ski fritschi freerides so that reduces the fear of taking my skis off and not being able to get my boots back into the bindings.

More snow would be nice and all, but how about In-N-Out finally opening the goods to the Front Range? FKNA!
Splitboarding can wait until I get a few double/doubles in me.

Wait. What? Did I miss this? Goggling...

**Soups** · 11-19-2020, 03:06 PM

Aurora and CO springs open tomorrow. Lines will be insane for a very long time.

**hawkgt** · 11-19-2020, 03:14 PM

ohh dear god.... i have to go SOUTH for a double double???

pro tip: saw this morning as worst drought on front range since 2002. Water your trees, they will thank you for it.
