Get on some wide skis and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through the mashed potatoes..in a typical warmer ski season you're gonna encounter spring conditions a lot so might as well work on your mashed potato skiing. Get forward and power through them.

Felt good to get on the XC skis again!....Snow was pretty easy to break trail through....Could get a nice kick/glide once I looped around to my tracks....

Good timing for your Utah trip although you’re gonna miss the season passholder party.  I actually RSVP’d just in case I feel like attending.

It's gonna be 50 degrees in Utah all week supposebly, but I guess there might be some leftover perder out there. I probably wouldn't have attended the season passholder party.

When I go on a ski trip, first of all I’m happy to be away from work, I’m happy to be skiing many days in a row and conveniently staying pretty close to the slopes…I’m happy to eat at all kinds of different restaurants..I’m happy to be skiing big mountain terrain……if there’s powder great…but it’s never really expected…the weather changes..last year in Jh, atomic Jeff didn’t even bring his fattest skis cause it wasn’t supposed to snow much and it snowed three and a half feet in like 36 hours.  
 

Also try to get a day in at powder mountain..

Getting a huge upslope storm that is favoring the front range. Eldora go 30” overnight and has a message they are closed today due to many snow slides on the shelf access road. Winter Park got about  14”. I70 closed in both directions. We only go about 3” here but got my morning text that Snowmass canyon has chain laws in effect. That stretch always a mess in bad weather.

@Barb thinking about an AZ / CO trip next year. Durango is only 5 hours from Flagstaff. Purgatory is on the same pass as Snowbowl and Telluride is 5:45. Not sure how close that is to you.

Did you ever ski the birds of prey downhill course at Beaver creek?  I did not from the official start cause that required a different lift but from about 3/4 up and it was mostly moguls and relentless.  Good stair step terrain there…bring SPF 70+

2021 on this day and that was a baller season..snowed a ton and Coming soon opened on natural snow and stayed open for weeks. Closing day that season was 3/27. The last time Blue was open in April was April 2, 2018 and that was a pow day. Maybe I’ll bump the thread for stoke.

I did that trip years ago, purg is worth a visit and Durango has a super dope Nepalese place called Himalayan Kitchen. Get the yak shi momo for sure. 

The drive from Silverton to Quray is redonk redonk, like pull over every 10 mins and look at shit. Telluride is soooooo pretty and by setup one of the coolest ski towns.
