Monarch Mountain opened today with 22 trails. They have zero snow making its all natural. Impressive since usually mountains open with one T2B trail. They used to have a deal if you showed your CO season pass you could get a $40 lift ticket but now that everything is Epikonic I think that stopped.

F it...I turned it on.

We planned on a later start so the temps could warm up. Was 13 in Boulder this morning. Inversion because by the time we got to Estes around 10:30 it was 35 degrees. The wind was whipping around and we were dreading booting up. But the temp was warm so it wasn’t bad. We usually take the trail at the end, lookers right (marked in red), but it was very wind scoured so we veered left at the fork (marked in green). That had more coverage but it’s a very narrow trail. The sections of powder I found to try and play in were crusted over and not very fun. Not too many pictures, we only skinned up a mile and came back down. I was huffing and puffing and could tell the drop in my cardio, gotta work on that. The snow we did have was iced over and fast! I could have used an easier first day back on the snow but it was good to get out. Eldora opens tomorrow and will be a shit show. I am gonna keep an eye on the webcams and may head up for an hour or two late afternoon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I just looked it up $94 for lift tickets at monarch mountain wow..discounts if you buy online ahead of time. This guy sucks at skiing powder..gotta be lighter on his feet...

i wonder if @toast21602 approves?

Optimistic prediction is Root Friday...realistic second weekend in December..last two seasons of Root Friday’s were either anomolys or the new normal. I’m still gathering data..we need cold air to come in under clear calm weather for maximum snow cannon production..

That's what she said.

I think his button might be broken. I’ll have to deactivate it in his end.

I know right...every freaking post this guy's either sad or confused. Saltman are you always sad and confused in real life too? If so it may be time to seek professional help.

Sucks to suck!

@GrilledSteezeSandwich Time to find my hat soon. For my 3 year anniversary gift (e.g. 3rd season on PASR) I want this hat from fur hat world. The dude kind of looks like eaf:

@saltyant why are you always so confused?

I love how worked up people get about moving it or not moving it. Who the fuck cares?

Welcome to the month in which we kick off the 2019-2020 ski season! Off season was nice but the countdown is officially on now. Ski everyone soon.

Fa Fa Fa Fuckery...as silly as @saltyant wearing a facemask when it’s 35 degrees out or me having the same helmet for 13 years. We’re a stubborn bunch.

29°! First time I’ve seen it break freezing this year. Stoke market is rising!
