A winter wonderland outside

Abandoned gondola in New Hampshire. 1300 feet of vert. Legit steeps. Gorgeous views north to the White Mtns. They never had any chairlifts, just the gondola to access the summit and three t-bars on the bottom mountain. The last owner ran an Italian restaurant in Conway, NH.

Had my first alpine ski day of the season at Aspen. The logistics are definitely more of a pain then skiing Crested Butte. Have to drive to the commuter lot near Snowmass then take the free bus into town. Parking in Aspen is a huge pain in the ass. So by the time you gets to the base of the gondola from my house it’s probably between 1 hour 30 and 1 hour 45. Went in to get my fancy premier pass printed. Got to gondola and pass wouldn’t scan in my jacket, had to take it out. I will have to play with that next time. Didn’t have to scan it the rest of the day from mid mountain. We did get snow over the weekend but surprisingly it was scraped off and icy in spots. The bumps looked treacherous especially for day one. One side was a bit better conditions then the other. Don’t really know trail names yet. No lines, hardly any people, bright sunshine and warm. The last run down to the base was very icy. I remember now that when we did our bump class last Dec, they had us download each day. The reason being that December sun doesn’t hit the bottom half of the mountain and it gets pretty icy, especially on tired legs. Aspen girls gonna Aspen. Note the pink twins.

Lets gooo!!!! Long range improving for snowmaking, next week looks like almost every night.

Flurries here too! First time I've seen real snow this season. That makes me happy.

I’m happy to be skiing in three more days.

Fucking soooo boring with no skiing ......its like we got all dolled up, went out, shit it was even in and then bam the roommate is home......

I wasn't joking, at least earlier I could see at the very top of the tubing cam the tell-tale cloud that meant they were making snow on Paradise and presumably Coming Soon. Really hoping they can add those to the terrain for this weekend to spread traffic around so the other two roots don't get so beat up

Pretty cool, thanks for that

Thank goodness or we weren’t skiing much last year if it wasn’t for that cold front

I kinda think they will need some more snowmaking before they can open mid week, and im not sure they will get much this week. However, if you want to believe in your favorite weather forecast for next week, it looks to improve like next Tuesday. where have we heard that before. All i want for Christmas is winter. This is very reminiscent of last year. Hopefully winter shows up with a vengeance soon.

My bruh's and I are going to Hunter again this year. If @Ski2Live Live2Ski wants to carpool I won't even charge him gas money, though he might have to get middle seat in the back for being the "new guy" in my bruh group.

Thanks for making this a day of kindness! Maybe next year in 2024 me, you and Ski2Live can split a hot cocoa three ways and share bunk beds on a Colorado trip while getting high off that alpine Rocky Mountain John Denver air.

I didn’t see @RootDKJ opening day or Saturday.
