Didn’t pay attention to weather yesterday. I knew it was going to snow but I think they underestimated. Nothing is plowed. Officially we got 7”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any favorite runs/ lifts/areas yet? Oh and tomorrow is trash day just so ya know.

Looks like 8-16” in Crested Butte thru tomorrow night. Hope your drive isn’t too bad. Driving home yesterday I didn’t see asphalt the first 2 hours and Monarch Pass was white knuckle conditions. Husband was very pleased I was home to take over dog walking duty since it was -5 this morning.

too late for the edit, but did catch a very bright microwave.

I am so glad you guys had such a good day, but sad we were not there to hear the first hand account! Skied this morning and go some GoPro footage that turned out not so great. Yesterday I had the camera angled too low, and today I think it was angled too high. Whatever, I made a crappy video to put on my FB but it’s not quality to put here, especially after the Silverton video. Huge huge thank you to Jeff for letting us stay at the villa. The location right on the mountain was amazing! Tom and Steve were hysterical and had our cheeks hurting from laughing so much. I am back in CB now, onto Boulder tomorrow. Hope to see more of you guys in Colorado next year.

I thought you preferred paper plates.

Yeah it was not great.

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

Boys heading out for the day from the villa

Maybe we will just keep the balcony doors open the whole time. And actually we are making you guys tacos for dinner. Guess I should have thought that one through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick snowshoe this morning. Lines were long yesterday on the cams and I knew they would be the same today. Kinda windy, but the views were nice. saw a group of 4 guys who were skinning and they ascended behind me in this pic on the slopes to the right. Looked pretty steep and unstable and we heard some “whumphing”. According to CBAC there have been numerous natural and triggered slides in the last 2 days. eating a quick lunch and then heading out to Telluride!

I am still posting here 100 years later so no harm no foul. Still love all you misfits.

Yes Doug you did 💕. Don’t want to hijack Jeff’s awesome thread here so back to Colorado discussions.

Ah! Yes, I remember this well. @theprogram4 I will always remember how you were so nice and waited for me!

Yeah, I am drving to Telluride tomorrow to see the boys too. But that’s cool, Jeff just forgot about me, I see how it is.

I saw that pic too! Think it said it was Westwall, and a guy I rode the lift with was very excited he got first tracks on westwall yesterday. I tried looking it up on the map but only see westwall lift, not trail, and that lift doesn’t seem to service much terrain.

@NMSKI @AtomicSkier there is a local realtor here in town who has a website 14erskiers.com. He also has a FB page. Always posting some good pics for stoke. He posted about the late afternoon opening of the High Lift yesterday with some good pics of the terrain. edit- I just realized only Jeff will be in CB.

@AtomicSkier just checked the website and is now showing the high lift is open.

BFPD! New PASR acronym Bluebird Fucking Powder Day! Today was my best, most fun day of this season. Snowed 8” overnight. Today is trash day and since my plow guy didn’t come before I left, getting my trash can over a 4’ mound of snow the street guys left for me made me late. 2 full buses went by and a regional bus from Gunnison stopped and said they could take a few. Got in line at 8:31 and (for CB) there was already a decent line. first run down Paradise and OH. MY. GOD. It was deep! Lots of hoots and hollers were heard. East River had equally good snow, but after a few runs the lines started backing up (again, CB lines, but I am now spoiled). Went down to Teo and lapped Bushwacker for a bit, guess what? Good snow there too! Then ended doing some laps near the Umbrella Bar. Some was groomed, but under the lift was fresh. Ended the morning with 11 runs and tired legs. Heard lots of avy bombs going off near the North Face lift. And according to the paper this morning they are trying hard to get it open by President’s weekend FYI @AtomicSkier. Right now I just can’t seem to wipe this smile off my face.

Yes they did, then 4 days after he was released it collapsed again. They did procedure again and he was in for another 11 days. One month follow up scan showed another collapse and they told him to just take it easy. Guess it is slowly repairing itself. Doc said this happens to like 2% of patients, just his luck I guess.

We are still only vaccinating 70+ and people with health risks. I keep telling my son to ask his doctor if he can get it since his lung collapsed twice more after his surgery but he is a dope and won’t ask.

Dynafit’s have a learning curve. Flat ground they are not too bad, but on a slope with powder....Jesus! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The area I took the pics was dust on crust, the actual trails had much nicer snow. No contacts, I usually don’t need my glasses outside. But I just have zero depth perception on low viz days.
