I was headed to WP either way though as it is closing weekend. Should be a great weekend regardless of accumulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 if berthoud closes though, which it may if the NAM's prediction of 40 inches is accurate, you should come up to loveland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick malozzi Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 if berthoud closes though, which it may if the NAM's prediction of 40 inches is accurate, you should come up to loveland That is a possibility. I really hope to get to WP though as I have free passes to use, and this is my last chance. In other words, I'm gonna fight my way through that damn pass as long as it is open. haha. I don't care how long it takes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiMe Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 wow that one snowstorm will beat the annual snowfal in the poconos lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) havent been keeping up with weather lately. seems pretty intense. summit might get left out its snowing here though. just really warm. yeah, its an up slope, so the ski areas right along the divide will have the most snow. Its a shame eldora closed...that would be the place to be. This will be their biggest snow storm in years, and they closed last week. on the bright side, echo mountain park will get clobbered Edited April 16, 2009 by jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick malozzi Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 They just closed Lovelenad pass, and I just got a call from Glenn that I'm pretty sure was made from the lift: "Nick, here's the deal. It is absolutely POOPING here. Leave work early. Winter Park is the place to be for this storm, foot on the ground already." Trying to skip outta here ASAP!

Glenn Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Today was fun tomorrow is going to be better I think. The base is kind of bad I hit a lot of rocks and logs and things trying to drop cliffs, but if you don't want to get too silly, its just great powder riding.

jordan Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 loveland was SICK the last two days. I70 closed last night, so me any my friends stayed in Silverthorne. The highway opened at 8:30 this morning, and we got back up to loveland hours before the denver crowds could get through Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick malozzi Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I was trying to get up to Winter Park Friday after work, and couldn't even get out of Boulder due to road closures. So I woke up early Saturday to Berthoud being closed due to avalanches. So I hung out and refreshed the C Dot website until they opened Berthoud back up. Today was a great day, snow was heavy in spots, but there was plenty of light and fresh to be had if you knew were to be. Bitched out on a drop I really wanted to hit since I was feeling a bit out of it early in the day, but other then that I think I rode pretty well.
