GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Wow, that is nice. Stretch out! Last year when we flew to Az, we changed flights in Minneapolis. A lot of people literally had 3 seats to themselves from Philly to Minneapolis. I had that on a virgin airlines flight from London to Newark.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Fuck 70 is closed Georgetown to silverthorne with multiple accidents. Gonna stop in Idaho springs and catch my bearings prob buy weed there instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Got my weed and chocolates and pipe in Idaho springs. The lady asks me what brings me here and I said to buy weed lol stopped at the Kum and Go for a slice of pizza and drinks and I figure I'll be taking Loveland pass past abasin and keystone into silverthorne if the tunnel is still closed when I get up there in about a half hour. Scenic route. If that route is closed I don't know what I'll do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I actually liked seeing the new spots and the adventure of Root finding. Of course looks like 70 is open again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 At Abasin today bought a two day ticket for $159. Skied a few runs so far off lenawee and black mountain express. The 3-4" of new snow is all wind affected even in the woods. Will actually get better when more people ski it. Comical see goobs trying the winds lab from the lift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Where do you think that you will be on Friday? Probably copper or Loveland. Sorry didn't stop and post many reports today was super super windy. Skied over the montazuma bowl and skated like a mofo up the slightly uphill cat track past two groups of people and somebody said wow he's fast. Of course doing that at 12,000 feet had me a bit winded. Some pictures from montazuma. Was gonna stop for lunch mid mountain but not that hungry had a bacon egg and cheese bagel and some sort of pastry earlier from Einstein bagels..prob get the brisket tomorrow at Abasin. Paid $159 for a two day ticket. I think it's a 19 dollar savings vs buying two one day tickets. In the lower mountain woods now sweating. I over dressed today. Temperatures in the high teens and strong winds booting me up had me but on fleece layer which was overkill. Sun this time of year is so bright still don't think it's above freezing. Gonna ski this run and maybe one more then head back into Silverthorne and get lunch and beer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
