First run.

Now is the perfect time to get ready for the return of the snow season. Keep your progression going from this past season, and even start some new ones. Think about it, you now have 7 months to not only keep your game going, but to elevate it to the next level before the snow even falls again. Don't be the Jerry on opening day, just trying to get used to moving your legs let alone throwing down any kind of trick in the park. Stop out every week, or stop out once in a while. Either way, you will reap the benefit for the entire next season. Skiers and snowboarders of all park abilities are welcome! Whether you are just getting started, or preparing for your next comp, Park 1260 has you covered.

Woke up Friday morning at 3am and made the uneventful drive up to Killington, arriving in the parking lot just after 9 and booted up to mostly sunny skies and upper 20s, but felt much colder because of the wind. Met up with another Blue couple and headed up the gondoobie. First run over on East Fall and the snow was hard and fast as expected from the recent rain and falling temps. Took some stabs at venturing off trail, but that was a no-go. The snow looked good from the lifts, but was compressed and frozen stiff. Took a run down the backside over to check out the mogul course. Yikes! It was frozen solid, so much so that they were out with pickaxes to chop the jump landings. A few hardy (insane) soles were making their way down the run, but ended up bailing after a few bumps from out of control speed. Should be an interesting comp! Later in the day some snow started to fall and visibility dropped. Headed up to the top lodge for a few beers. Coming out we were met with full on wind and some 3-4" of fresh perder which helped slow things down a bit as pretty much everything was a sheet of ice by this point. Run of the day was coming down a mostly untracked Highline just before close, since few will ride the triple. Left the mountain after a few parking lot beers and headed to the house. Following the GPS which took me to the wrong house, only to find Tarpon pulling in right behind me. Turned out the house was across the street. After some dinner with other Blue couple, headed over to Sushi Yoshi for the pre-comp registration party and to meet up with the gaggle of Blue people who also came up for the fun. Thanks for the beer Tarpon!!

garnish some of your kids allowance and buy some twin tips.

Whoo-hoo, only top lodge parkers get to listen to this.

A few more shots. This morning is incredible. I’m still finding fresh two+ hours after opening but you have to traverse for it or go in lower angel woods.

In line for the Pali lift opens at 830 then will high tail it to Lenawee which opens at 9am. Dumping and 24 degrees not so heavy and wet more medium density.

Well, well, well...

Raining in Silverthorne...snowing in the mountains.

Me do what me want.

How to tell you are somewhere in the south

Not much of a mystery. Dreamweaver isn't a double black.

You can park at the bottom still and stop there.

Boulder will be open next weekend. They cant quite claim last to close if they close the same day as Blue and Cameltoe. All the slopes that have snow on them will be open. Take your park skis.

I used to mow back in the day. My parents house and at the tombstone company.

Oh nice I’d go with Salty. I don’t know if Root is around though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Getting crowded too. With only six pack running the lines are up to the gates.

Alright macho man. I'll leave you to fight another snowfall while I bask in sun.

Looks like 10”+ now for the mountains and heavy. A couple more hours of snow then should clear. I’m going to ABasin...I think I’d need chains to get to Loveland on I-70 or lover Loveland pass. It’s rowdy out there. Storm totals so far in the 25” range. Maybe even more in winter park which received 18” from the first wave. Could be really good today!!!

I ordered cup of the soup they gave me a bowl and charged me for a cup..didn’t even need to do quick maths

What about toast?

Day 3 of 6.:Copper mountain... I was up early and enjoyed the free breakfast had bagel with two kinds of jelly, two clementines and coffee. Was on the road by 730 and pulled into copper pay lot by the base of the super bee lift by 750 and already half filled lot...lot unplowed but managed not to get feet wet..temperature right around freezing everything covered in a foot of snow..got to ticket line which was inside by the rental shop real satellite staffing now and today was a big April day for them. Only one guy selling tickets and rentals..line of 7-8 grew to 15 by the time I bought ticket at soup nazi precision had card out and buddy pass $79..while I was signing receipt he was already selling next ticket. Got into super bee line maybe 80 people I was in 5th row or so they dropped the rope we all skied through untracked snow in kiftkine human groomers and boarders stuck and people dicking around with RFID I snuck my way past a couple dozen of them and on one of the first six packs. Problem was they hadn’t cleaned the snow yet off the chairs so a fanny flap would have been handy. Guy with broom was doing his best but one person and a six pack full speed is a lot for a foot of snow. Lift stopped a few times on way up got to watch wallets ski down ththe middle of blue groomers with deep dense pow..saw a few wipe outs for sure. First run skied to mid mountain all untracked some runs had to go to sides for untracked up to the top and down a main dark blue route which was rowdy and an area where there are multiple lifts didn’t like that skied woods rest of the way down until I got to grooming service building then untracked on entire lower mountain fat skis really excel at getting through lower angle untracked. Also did my good deed for the day guided two kids out of wide open glades that funnel into tight trees. Had to Hollywood a little for them was wide open. Ended up on a green to the base people stuck everywhere. Needed to get away from the crowds so took the American flyer lift up which goes village to 2/3 or the way up like 2 miles and 2k of vert then skied down to the Sierra lift was stopped had a big line went on rendezvous lift which is all meadow skipping don’t think I’ve ever taken that lift Pretty much got speed off others tracks in flats there’s one decent face that people were hoofing to that I used their tracks to get to it..real deep up there but I needed pitch so sucked it up and waited in line for Sierra lift singles line quick rode up with two Lyndsey Dyer look alikes took surface lift up to peak then skied a cirque kind of run..was somewhere between untracked and sloppy seconds. Rode sierra lift one last time and went down mini cornice deep nobody goes that way early because it dumps into timberline area but I know a good route where you stay above timberline area longer and dump out on the herb routes lower had that to myself ended on a Blue which was untracked entire left side to timberline lift moderate lift line where did all these people come from..14” new 10” overnight brings the people out. Snow didn’t really stop I was sort of wet legs were tired but all snow I can handle. Had people ask me about my fat skis..found more fresh mid mountain woods don’t always follow people into woods there’s streams and shit...was able to ski almost back to the bus stop..parking lot was a raging stream and new snow at the base was down to a few inches No snow in Frisco

I looked at the Blue webcam from the woods at Copper mountain...I skied lots of woods today and just sides of trails where untracked remained. In Frisco now having some Tortilla soup...

Ready to see some great skiing! Then do so mediocre skiing.

Heady, focal banger, frost farmhouse and a German brew

I used to lay on the shelf below the rear window of my dads Chevelle, going to Dairy Queen for ice cream. Why? just cause i could. My parents also brought me home from the hospital in a laundry basket. Yeah, times have changed.

Oh, we know.

I didnt either. Didnt want to spend any money. yes im cheap sometimes

I’ll post some later trying to write a report before I’m Lit AF

Nice snow pics. Looking forward to food and drink pics!

There is no Salty A, only Salty Q.

Backyard season! Salty, do you have a backyard?

Maybe Root, Shadows and Toast will want somebody to carpool with next weekend to Belleayre.

Have fun today at Blue and update your stats.
