Here is a picture of @NMSKI from this morning at 11:15am. Not a lift line in sight, either.

I spent way too much time on this.

I will be the first one to make a comment in like 2 pages that isnt shitting up this awesome thread. Im super jealous. Just not the year for me to be there though. I mean, even conditions from the Villa look awesome. But as @mbike-skisaid, i would be in way worse shape if i didnt have like 5 stellar days here in PA in the past week. looking forward to more pics. And, i'm having Tacos tonight.

I had to mix in some work today. 😐 my life has been a vacation the past 52 days so I really don’t mind. (yes, that’s the correct number @GrilledSteezeSandwich. Thanks for keeping me accountable.) just as @Barbwas starting Taco Tuesdays, I headed out for ski tour. I missed the PASR dinner pic but the tacos were still delicious. Came out to what looked like the pool boy getting us ready for a Hot Tub Time Machine. from the house, you head down this ice lunge and the ski trail picks up at the fence. You ski about 0.25 miles down to the Chondola / Sunshine Lift. I put on the skins then went up the Lower Sundance trail. There was 1 group with dogs but didn’t see anyone else touring. I may try to go during the daylight tomorrow. Headed back to Econo Lodge to belly laugh until your abs hurt, hot tub, and steam room’ed it up.

Boys heading out for the day from the villa

Because at least 1 person will ask... Salad by @Barb’s friend steaks cooked on the inside grill by @AtomicSkier

No joke...at first glance I thought that was the cover of a ski mag. Beautiful shot. NMSki get that shit famed and hang it up in your living room.

in honor of @AtomicSkier, I post this song and wish the PASRs good vibes and lots of powder out west!

Skied 6-8, lapping Paradise and Lazy with the fam. Got half of a run with Marty but didn’t see anyone else. Snow was decent with just a couple scrape spots in the high traffic areas. Crowds weren’t too terrible, lots of kids. I was spoiled at Elk Monday with zero crowd and miss the empty midweek nights of old now. Back at it tomorrow morning, hopefully with some fresh snow overnight.

Both correct. They also dont have a reservation system at all, so inherently this is the outcome. There are people on here that bitched about going somewhere that they would have to make a reservation for. " i aint gonna do that bullshit" is the quote if i remember correctly. At the same time they are the ones bitching about a line up at a ski resort they have no intention to ski at anyways. Its very infrequent in life that you can have things both ways. This is a prime example. Lets just get used to the fact Powder days = lines. pretty much anywhere.

ok now im getting pissed lol

If you zoom in real close you can see this:

Beautiful short day out there on the hill. Some awesome groomers before picking up the boys. A dusting of snow fell over night making things even nicer. Had the MX98s out today which crush groomers and put a smile on my face 😍

True packed powder day. No teeth rattling frozen cord today. No ice at all. 16 degrees, mostly cloudy. East Mountain lift mostly full, but no line. Quad not running. Soft cord, Elevator, Challenge glade, Mad Tree glade all looking good. Spent my time on the groomers. Challenge was nice and consistent, Tbolt was groomed with rollers before the drops so could get some air if you wanted to.

This is grate [emoji1319]

Please bring this issue to Blue this weekend. USPS has not delivered mine yet and I want some #TellurideTaco recipes.

La Casita terminal C? Pops and I just ate there. Can confirm quality.

Yes. Its idiotic to think putting a whole bunch of trucks and equipment on the road when they are calling for snow, will somehow be a good decision. sometimes i need to remind people of this. Plus, i am long over making a 30 minute ride home into a 2 hr nightmare.

NMSki shines on the Rocky Mountain steeps..at Blue he looks ordinary. @saltyant you’re better at pole planting

Wifey and I got Moderna vaccine last Thursday at Weis in Brodheadsville. No unusual reaction. A couple weeks after second shot scheduled for 3/4 and we should be golden (except for the South Africa variant).

I'm just glad we have good snow conditions here - makes this thread a *little* less painful, and I had tacos yesterday too!

Looking like a powder day in Telluride. Enjoy!!

Probably didn’t want to leave evidence that he was in Vermont.

Yeah, that needs to be taken away from him for a while

Yup. Only $79/night.

You come up in conversation often among PASRs. We'd love to see you again at some point so take care of yourself man and don't be a stranger.

That’s your choosing...just saying what I know from following the largest news story of our lifetime for the last 11 months. My friend got Covid bad..her baby dad and kid didn’t get it and they live in the same household..but maybe they had it and no symptoms as they were not tested and kid was sent to school. Shit is bananas. I think teachers should be in group 1A especially since like 2/3 of them are back in the classroom to some extent.

We operate with better than minimum standards.

You had me at hello

The problem with that demo list is that there are only 5 skis that are more than 5cm longer AND 5mm wider than your current ski. If you really want to find out what works best for you in non-ideal conditions, trying three skis from this list isn’t going to do it. You need more variation between them, and away from your current setup, IMO. By all means demo in Utah. What I would really look to do if I were you is get on as many sticks as you fit in for free from fellow PASRs, especially next month when the spring condition crud shows up. A ski you can drive through the heavy sugar piles on a 55 degree day on Mont Bleu is going to serve you well in most other situations. You can always keep the RTMs for perfect western groomer days.

@NMSKIOr put it on a credit card

It is true that like 50% of Atomic Jeff’s days out west are Perder days...might even end up more than that after this trip.

It’s cause they often sell kids meals at a much lower price point then the equivalent adult meal as an incentive to get families to eat there. I bet there were chicken tenders on the app menu, at a much higher $/oz price.

Atomic Jeff will disagree with me but a lease is the most expensive way to own a car. The interest rate is much higher than financing.

Saying 1-3" for Reading tomorrow. Not really enough to get excited about, but it should add to the base on the sledding hill at least

You can ski my E88s if you like, and also the Monster 108s. They both have demo bindings. I’m hoping to have the Souls this weekend, tracking says they will arrive tomorrow but I’m skeptical. If they do I’ll take them up Friday for mounting.

anybody interested in getting together for a short tour over the next few days/evenings/weekend?

@GrilledSteezeSandwich yes, I weaseled my way into a spot. Trying to wait for a bit more visibility before I head out.

I can just imagine that Johnny Law sway occurring as he walks.

<stoke> Something looking good in the next Tuesday timeframe... </stoke>

my gawwwd that couch is hideous.

Looks fantastic man. Hope you guys have a great time! And for Salty who is perma-confused...it was a joke.

@GSSucks that was intentional ... apparently they fit better in his bag better.

Looks like your binding broke at some point during travel.

Ticket reloaded, see some of you guys Thursday morning bright and early! edit: I’ll bring some Levante

My mother got her first shot yesterday. still working on my dad.

That would really freak people out.

No I have not.
