That’s how I always feel shortly after I get to NJ. I feel your pain.

I know right!? We already have a Doug.

Doug you are so gross and juvenile; but I still laughed.

I can attest to it being extremely dry out here. All resorts only have a handful of runs open. Gonna get a few inches of snow in the mountains today, but not much. Super cold here today, 16 when I woke up.

We ate lunch out there. A bit chilly but nice scenery Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I finally got my first day in the snow! At Abasin with both my boys (a real treat for me). Taking a lunch break now. Not crowded here. Boys both went to upper mountain, I am hanging down low, feeling rusty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Love the pictures. Would not want to be drunk on that staircase.

want to see more inside pics for sure!!

I am with Toast, thought I was the only one who hated ebooks. I used to go for mysteries, but now have gravitated toward survival stories, mountaineering and Buddhism themed. Fear by Thich Nhat Hanh is a favorite.

I have buddy tickets to Copper and WP. Message me closer to your dates if you want any.

Loveland opening Friday.

Even if I could go on Friday I would not go near that shit show. Loveland usually opens with more terrain. They will probably be open by next week.

Abasin opening Friday!

Just got back from TGR’s movie Rogue Elements. It was awesome. Several Jackson Hole sequences, one with mountain bikers racing a skier. Never seen anything like it.

Getting deep in the mountains. All rain here in Boulder. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

3-6" tonight into tomorrow in Crested Butte. And from all the hiking pictures I am seeing, lots of snow above 12,000.

True, now they are all named Kylie or McKenna.

Goddammit I wish her name wasn't Barb!

I have the Rocky Mountain Super Pass plus. Good for unlimited Winter Park, Copper and Eldora. 6 days Steamboat, 3 days CB with no blackout dates. $500 when I purchased in May. Price up to $629 now. Also attending a TGR movie next week at Boulder Theater and they give you a free CB ticket.

Last year we had to wait a long time for snow. Last week it was 90 and now the temps have dropped. Highs have been in the 50's/60's. Mountain snow last weekend and another round Wed into Thursday. Crested Butte due to get about 4". Silverton is the bullseye with a foot expected. Patrollers were skiing Silverton the other day. I'm pumped for a good winter!

I am one of those people. If there is a place to go where I can where I costume, I am all over it. 2 years ago I did a winter welcomer hike with the 14ers group up Quandary Peak. I had hiked it in summer but not in snow. Everyone wore costumes. I made a "stupid sexy Flanders" costume (remember that Simpson's episode?) but it was a full body suit that was not practical for hiking. I had it in my pack to put on at the summit. But, alas, I underestimated the weather conditions, my feet were numb and I had to turn back about half way. There is a Halloween hike this year with another group and I am hoping I can make it and wear it.
