I just took my skis in to get waxed today after I saw the email. They won't be ready till Tue. Anyway I am supposed to b hiking a 14er w a group in costumes Saturday. Forecast calling for a high of 23 and snow in Breck. Should b interesting.

Loveland Set To Open This Thursday! For a second it felt like it might never come, but boy do things change quickly! With a storm system that brought us 17.5 inches of natural snow came the perfect conditions our snowmakers needed to finish up our opening day run. Loveland will open for the 2015/16 season at 9:00am on Thursday, October 29 with nearly 1,000 vertical feet of tree-to-tree, top-to-bottom coverage on Cat Walk, Mambo, and Home Run. Come celebrate the begining of the Colorado ski season with us! We will continue snowmaking operations as we look to open more terrain. Follow our progress on Facebook or check out our snowmaking blog at the new skiloveland.com, and think snow!

Weather here has been beautiful! Not sure of temps today but in the sun, climbing rocks it was warm.

Tried rock climbing today. Pretty terrifying.

http://www.skicolorado.com/MultiMountain_SeasonPasses.html If Dan, Dom and John are coming this year the Rt. 40 pass would be a good value $479 for unlimited WP and 4 days Steamboat.

PC I didn't see Winter Park on that list. WTF??!! not coming to see me this year?

Been very warm here in CO. Definitely no snow making temps anytime soon. This weekend supposed to be gorgeous in the 70's and sunny.

Which bag is Zonked's?

Jordan you need to post more! I used to really enjoy the pictures you put up.

I have never seen one, so. I thought it was very cool that my first sighting included chicks. I have seen plenty of trip reports where people see them often. They blend in so well I may have walked right by one before.

Saw a Ptarmigan with her baby chicks today. 2 chicks in middle of shot. Very cool to see! Also spotted a very fat and obviously well fed marmot that looked like a small dog.

I hope one of those text messages says Winter Park!

Take some private lessons so I can improve my skiing form. Hang out with my oldest in the mountains as much as possible before he is off to college next year. Actually make it to either Steamboat or Copper since they are on my pass.

You may be right Shadows, but i'll take these views over looking at the same beach in NJ any day.

Beautiful but windy day in the Indian Peaks Wilderness

Wouldn't be surprised

Like the pic Toast. I am a sucker for sunrises and sunsets.

Nice zzslope! We had a motorcycle camper briefly. It added a lot of weight, ended up selling it.

Those trailers do look interesting. After 6 days and 1400 miles of riding my body is beat up. I couldn't imagine how much worse I would feel if I had to sleep on the ground. Getting a much needed massage tomorrow and yoga. Zzslope next time you go post a picture.

Toast wins Yosemite>Yellowstone. The ride from the northeast entrance (on way out) to Cody was more scenic then the park.

Chain restaurants w no fresh food. Everything arrives via the Sysco truck. Gas station stores for snacks along the way. I would rather drive or go on the motorcycle than fly places. But good to know its only an hour flight. We don't camp when we ride the motorcycle. After riding for 6 plus hours I want a hot shower and comfy bed. Plus we are very limited with space. One backpack each plus rain gear.

Jackson Hole is nice. We only stopped for lunch on our way thru to the park. Don't remember where we ate but it was the first good meal I had in 2 days. That's the only downside of road trips, the shitty food along the way. I would go back again and spend more time there.

I am sure Doug recognizes this. Yellowstone tomorrow.
