THE Aspen/Snowmass / Greater Roaring Fork Valley 23-24 Thread

That was much needed. Nice and light - perfect for skiing with the kids.

You should take your little one up for a lap, before ski school. Nobody skis the lower mountain and she’ll get totally untracked.

Today was really good!

Today was great. Blew away expectations. Hit the lower Hanging Valley Glade gate off Cookies with like 2 tracks in there besides ours. Coverage was great ,much better than expected. Highlands tomorrow w the 10 yo.

Boys were psyched and actually skied the untracked really well.

Scooted over to Ajax for some afternoon leftovers that weren’t too bad either

[Duffman]

Does anyone have any tips on.getting from Snowmass to Buttermilk via RFTA? The page says take the SM route , but it looks like that just stops at Hwy 82 and Buttermilk. Am I missing something on how to get from there to the actual base area , esp with a 6 year old in boots?

It’s not any further than most of the parking spots on the way in.

Got a break from the festivities for a short Christmas skin

This storm saved Christmas.
Snowmass ski area was amazingly empty, but the hoards have descended onto the village.

The cold may stem some of them early, but I bet tomorrow’s busy.

So my toe buckle on my Cochise boot broke. Anybody know a shop in town that might have one ?

Call over to Surefoot Aspen or the boot guy at the base of Highlands.

I’m at 4Mountain Snowmass Mall right now.
Jack doesn’t have a Cochise,
but he probably can make something work.

Pretty freaking cold today, but the boys skied their first “official” black diamond, so we’ll take it

I imagine this weekend will be a different story with 40 deg temps and sun.

[Duffman]

Thanks Shredhead. He didn't have anything last night but mentioned someone asked him and he would check at home . On the way to Ajax now with the boy so will check when we get back

Highlands was dead Monday and snowmass upper lifts empty yesterday ,likely because it was freezing. Snow holding up nicely

The 4mtn sports at the base of Ajax had a big ole buckle pile last time i stopped by to source a buckle for a different brand.

Waiting on line for a lunch lap at the bucket… it was maybe 5 minutes… a little different.

The line at Ajax tavern is another story lol

That's some serious markup on a $500 bottle.

The biggest mystery to both all of us and likely this guy is where his day was spent on the 25th between his first $6k tab at 12.25pm and then his second tab walkout at 10:22pm.

Like the way he just kept the train rolling until the 26th. And still chugging the stolen wine while talking to the cops. A+ bender .

No coke charge, no minors involved, most dissapoint. This brah is Lesh wannabe.

GSA is alive and getting tired. The gondi was a nice aspirational touch. Props.

I did update my gansta thug booze culture though on the choice of weapon.
