NMSKI

I accept this price. Skiing and my kids are the only thing I really spend $ on so it’s all good.

I feel a special run of "milk that" hats coming up. I'm thinking $50 for a "milk that" hat would be a steal!

The trails were good. The cord did not hold up though due to all the people skidding around, but still there were only a few icy spots and could be easily avoided.

They were fine in the morning but got pretty long around 11 and stayed long. Didn’t wait more than 15 minutes, but they went all the way back to the porta potties near the parking lot.

I was there today too, very impressed with the coverage off trail. Best I’ve ever experienced it there. Lines were long but never waited more than 15 minutes. The temperature checks kind of seemed like “hygiene theater”, as the person took all four of our temperatures in record time and never got within a foot of my son’s skin, but I will say that Montage has the best COVID situation going on that I’ve seen so far with a lot of outside eating and solid mask patrol in lift lines.

Do you think Sunday is a better bet than Saturday, or not much difference? Can always do montage Saturday.

YIkes! We were up there on the Jan 23 and 24th and we must have beaten the crowds to get parking and tickets. I'll make sure to get there extra early tomorrow. Don't need any rentals which is nice. Thanks for the info!

Won’t make it to blue this weekend, going to Elk Saturday and Montage Sunday. Gotta get the family out this weekend to make up for neglecting them last week in CO!

I had to do one round of snow removal on my driveway already. I'm at work now and it's still dumping hard. Snow on the roads was nice and grippy though.

Ropedee #4? “That’s fuckin rocky as shit” I’ve been looking up Alaska heli skiing all week. Nothing else will do now.

Not sure how it works in that school district, but in mine there was the option to elect "cyber" school which is different than "remote" in that you just have to complete the work but it is all asynchronous. Remote learning, you have to be on a zoom all day. Could be that a lot of these kids are doing cyber and just getting all their work done before and after skiing.

What an honor to grace the first cover of PASR magazine!

I was advocating for a “milk that” icon that would be an udder. Kind of like how we got the eggplant for “boner city”. Don’t think it’s gonna happen.

I’m in Denver on layover right now on Southwest. Might get some more of those tamales I had on the way out here.

Hike to

Hope he recovers quickly. Bummer news.

Wow what a way to end a just about perfect ski trip. Skied open to close with a little burrito break in there. Started off the morning with some really fun groomers, then skied some very fun bumps with @AtomicSkier. The sun was trying to come out for a minute and we headed over to revelation bowl to see if it was nice over there. Skiers left was just about the flattest light you could imagine and was practically vertigo inducing. Did another run down the right side which was much nicer. Even a few semi fresh turns in there. We came back up the revelation lift and we noticed the gate to the gold hill chutes was open. @Johnny Lawand I skied gold hill 1 which was very nice up top with an extremely sporty exit. Next up we decided to take a walk. Took prospect express up and took the skis off and headed up the hike to access black iron bowl and palmyra basin. Took us about 35 minutes and a couple sketchy climbs then we decided to ski mountain quail, which I’d had my eye on from afar all week. Huuuuge cornice then nice soft steep snow all the way into palmyra basin. Next up we decided to hike bald mountain which was more challenging of a hike than I expected due to no boot pack for part of the way and post holing in deep snow at one point. At the top we were treated to knee deep untouched blower. I guess that area doesn’t get skied much. In the afternoon we did some fun groomers. Now beer o clock. Law in Gold Hill 1 The climb to Mountain Quail and looking down untouched pow on bald mountain before law wrecks it and law subsequently slaying it

Sorry to let you down! It lightly snowed all day and lighting wasn’t too good for pics but it was a really fun day. Did a bunch of groomers with an inch of fresh on top and skied some steep bumps under the plunge lift a couple of laps as well. Law and I explored town for a bit after skiing and was a great day overall. Here are some lifestyle shots since the phone didn’t come out while skiing.

I can confirm.

Whoa. I’m gonna drink all the beer now

2 pork tamales with refried beans topped with red chile. Was damn good for airport food.

Oh no he didn’t!

I’m hanging in Denver getting ready for my connection. Contemplating Mexican food for lunch to kick off the HAFE properly.

Oof road poop. Where at?
