Toast while you are there please install Tapatalk on Doug's phone so I don't have to click on thumbnails anymore. Much appreciated.

yesterday was fantastic. Bluebird day, great snow and pretty warm mid 30's. Prior to that I had not been on skis in a month. Not sure why, lots of hiking and family obligations I guess.

Pictures from the shore look terrible, so much flooding. I am soooooo happy I sold my place in Sea Isle last summer.

I know a place you can stay

Jeesh quit being so hard on yourself PC.

^yes you did inherit a souvenir .

So the Austrailian Olympic Team is staying at our place in Winter Park. They just got word the World Cup in Lake Placid is cancelled so they asked to stay longer. Good for me, bad for them. Guess the whole East is in rough shape.

Guess you have the Epic Pass. Was Breck super busy being week after Christmas? Been pretty damn cold in Boulder as well.

^WAY

Mountains got 8" in last 24 hours and more on the way. My place in WP is rented but I am getting a bit bored with Eldora so left Boulder at 6:30 to come up to WP. Was in line before opening at 9. Heavy crowds but lift lines not terrible. First run ended up on a bumped up tree run. That took me a while (something to work on). Taking a break for lunch. Legs are tired! Guy parked like a dick

Yes I do but I have been on that canyon road in bad conditions before and it gets sketchy. Sliding into the creek is a real possibility. gonna wait a few hours.

Hmmm while checking road conditions I see a snow plow slid off the road into the creek (the road to Eldora). Think I am going to wait to see how things are a little later.

School closed for maybe the 2nd time since I have moved here. If I can get their lazy asses out of bed and the roads are doable we will head to Eldora.

I agree with this. I think i have the opportunity to make 2 trips out west this year, so i'm not real concerned with some early season turns on limited terrain that require alot of travel. it doesnt work out logistically for me. Individual results may vary though. My job is so flexible in the winter that i can get things done now, and take additional days when i really want to. Dan the man where is trip # going to be?

My husband drove from NJ to CO when we moved here. 30 hrs I believe but he was driving a motorhome w 2 friends. Broke it up into 3 days. Said he wanted to shoot himself driving through Kansas, super flat and boring.

Didn't ski today but a great day hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park!

Bluebird and empty

The one and only time I was at Hunter was jr year of HS. Someone organized a weekend bus trip and somehow we all convinced our parents there were chaperones. My friend and I were last on the bus because we were waiting for someone to bring us beer. Two 12 packs of Coors Light (you heard me) that i had to bust open and spread throughout my full size 80's style suitcase. Ah, good times.

Pulled out a pair of hand me down ski pants for my youngest. They still had a ton of JFBB lift tickets on them from 2011. Lots of good memories in the Poconos.

Ugh had to get a whole setup for my youngest and he is no longer in junior sizes. $$$$ men's skis and boots are pricey.

Whats up with the mountain stats? Tried to add my first day but put it on 14/15 season. C'mon Jeff winter is here!

First day out at Winter Park. Forecast called for snow and 40-50mph winds but I knew after tomorrow everywhere will be busy with Thanksgiving break. Winds died down a bit, was a white out briefly. Very limited terrain open but he snow is good, few inches of fresh and zero people.

^yup. Glad I started early.
