One month Winter Park GR

[Glenn]

So I've been living in Winter Park for about a month. I've taken a few pics and finally got motivated to get to the base area to post them.

 

When I arrived at the base this is what I saw (ok so this picture is too big maybe I'll resize and post later). I was pretty dissappointed everything looked ungroomed but the super lame wind blown race course. This was gonna be a long winter...

Luckily I met some super cool locals who said they would show me where the killer courderoy stash was. Here I am resting from probably about halfway down the hill next to the locals. I made them stop because they were ripping way to hard for me to keep up.

 

 

After we started up again they cut hard into the woods probably to the cord stash. I got lost and somehow ended up here. The jump was totally lame, and I'll probably never risk injury again trying something so completely gaperish as that.

 

 

After that I pretty much called it a month since all the riding was totally beat with fresh snow and ungroomed runs. I hear in the spring they have better grooming so I'll probably just nap for a while till that happens. Since most of my time will be spent indoors until the grooming improves here's a picture of my window in my bedroom. Since I'm a janitor I should probably clean the smudges.

 

 

And also here is the a picture of my living room with a might spruce (I think) christmas tree.

 

 

Every once in a while I go into town, which sucks because I have to actually snowboard to get to my car. Sometimes I poach the race trail so I can get there without riding bumps or trees. This is a picture all the tourists (me) take...

 

 

 

There are better pictures which I choose not to share because I hoard stuff like that. Maybe if you guys are super cool I'll post more.

I'm not sure what you mean, but if icicle stoke doesn't work for you, then I don't think any GR I post will make you happy.

I meant that the gaper report is good entertainment, but you should post a serious TR with conditions, pics, etc. Thats a good view from your place too.

I did post the conditions and pics. Conditions are bad with fresh snow and ungroomed runs. The high today was supposed to be 1 degree/-14 degree (base/top). I don't really know if they were since I was trying to nap all day, but it sounds like if you want to come out here you should wear some mittens and maybe two pairs of jeans instead of just one.

 

I think I'm going to invest in some big black curtains. Those darn mountain peaks reflect too much light.

This is just unacceptable Did you ask them to turn the snow making off ?

Bump because I got the first picture working now.
