Funny Dan. 2 eggs with avocado, turkey sausage quinoa and black beans is a big breakfast in my book. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In New Mexico for a few days. Day starting out pretty good. Coffee by the fire. Sunrise hike An hour soak in the hot springs Then a big breakfast now heading to Santa Fe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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.

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

Good to know. But since I only have a limited number of days there I would rather save them for late season than early season.

I have Epic and Ikon so, yes, I could go to Keystone. But my friend only has Ikon and Abasin only has one run open.

Hoping...

Plans set, heading up to RMNP for my first ski day of the season tomorrow. So freaking psyched!!! My legs and cardio are garbage right now from being out of commission for 6 weeks w the boot. Should be an interesting skin up. Will most certainly post a TR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Snow snow, snow snow snow. Gonna try and get out Thursday when things clear up. Roads are awful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I have to get out somewhere next week. Snow starting at midnight tonight thru Monday, then another little storm Tue-Wed.

I know I saw that! The canyon is a mess right now. They have been doing work for months to permanently fix things from the flood years ago. It is closed mid day Mon-Thurs and there’s have been multiple rock slides where it closes without notice. Gonna make it an interesting season driving up there.

I think you get 7 days with the Ikon and nobody want to waste a day with one run open early season.

Live webcam at WP. Just read they closed down Berthoud Pass due to multiple accidents. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Got my skis waxed at the shop so they could tune the edges, but decided to go full in with a setup so I can start doing it myself rest of the season. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Snowing here but in the mountains. Saw they closed Vail Pass in both directions on I70 due to multiple accidents.

They put that Kai segment at the end of the TGR movie Winterland. The whole place was cheering for him.

Just saw Abasin is opening today from 3:30-5:30 because they could not stand for Keystone to take their title tomorrow.

That would be so awesome if they came out here!

After the boot comes off I have to wear shoes with hard soles that don’t bend for 2-3 weeks and slowly start using my foot again. Hopefully be skiing by end of November. After my MRI doc said I broke a different bone then she originally thought. It’s the bone on top of my foot so wearing tight ski boots would aggravate it. Trying to stay positive.

First snow of the season. All the dogs at the park were happy! Snow kept clumping up on my boot. Fingers crossed I may get it off next week. 75 degrees yesterday and 22 when I left the house this morning was quite a shock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You keep your heat on 68 at night?! Mine is set for 66 during the day and 62 at night. On really frigid days I get daring and turn it to 67 but that’s as high as it goes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Broken feet and motorcycles don’t really mix I found out today. Weather wasn’t as cold as I thought and we left early enough to beat the traffic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just read Abasin estimates a 10/11 opening date.

Nope and I’m still sporting my stupid air cast boot so couldn’t play in it anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
