GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Posted April 12, 2017 I'm super tired I think from all the sun I got today. Snow softened up nicely to a combination of corn and slush. I skied all over mainly the Timberline area and Super Bee area. More of the USASA competition going on and some big dog booters. 2 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Posted April 13, 2017 Loveland Day 4 of 6... Hey all, I'm back from another fun ski day. Today was the warmest day thus far. I took my time getting ready and arrived at the base right around their opening of 9am. To my surprise there were a solid amount of cars and I was maybe in the 6th row with cars filling in fast behind and another row of cars before I was even booted up. It turns out it was some special radio station day and I had to wait in a moderate line for my $71 ticket. Loveland is a much different crowd I'd say with green or black skiers whole copper is mostly blue skiers. That means the steeper blues are actually pretty empty which had the best corn later on. At the top of chair one approaching 930 I overheard snowboarder saying wow there are other lifts besides this one I like it here at Loveland. Was funny but the first lift they took already had them about a thousand vert up and four other lifts go higher. There was a nice breeze but near 50 degrees out and bright sunshine. First run was a stiff groomer over to lift six which is a double with no safety bar. I don't think any of the lifts have a safety bar. On the triples and quads the seats are padded but tilted back. Doubles are old school hard seats. Some of the lifts are pretty long..I don't think any over 9 minutes though. Didn't have any pocket beers today..but like the super bee at copper plenty of time to drink an IPA. Skied over to lift 4 from the top of lift 6 on a variety of trails some ungroomed was actually softening already up lift 4 which to me is one of the $$$$ lifts at Loveland because it rises straight up and then mellows out so the steepest terrain is right under the lift in front of the herb route with a view of I-70 that terrain wasn't that soft yet so I went over to lift 8..cut over to chets run which had been groomed and that was just starting to corn up. Took a safety break in the woods and took pictures of the corn snow. I ended up doing lift 6 five times in a row. It was just so nice over there wall to wall corn snow and only a handful of people. I did the big loopy long run called Awesome and did chets three more times...by the last run the corn there was getting slower and gloppier still real nice but there's only a certain window for that kind of snow before it becomes pasty. I then went back to lift 6 on zippity split. Into the fail safe trees and scrub. That area had some real thick spring snow. I actually Hollywood off a cat track cause these people were contemplating it. Then they caught up to me when I stopped to take pictures. Ended up back on lift 6 got leftover corn cord on the side of the park then did a bump run under lift 6 was pretty tired by then so quit got at least 11 runs so I ain't trippin drove into Frisco went to Pho Bay which is in an old school suites hotel I think Baymount. Had shrimp spring rolls and small pho and iced coffee. They hooked me up with a fat glass of water without me even asking. That's how they do in the Rockies. Food was good back at the crib 4 Quote
trackbiker Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 Here's a few pictures. I'll post a report and more pictures later. image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg You skied Loveland???? I guess no one told you they don't have any high speed lifts? Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Posted April 13, 2017 You skied Loveland???? I guess no one told you they don't have any high speed lifts? Two of my favorite Jackson hole lifts are low speed fixed grip Sublette and Thunder and they're direct and the 3-4 lifts I use at Loveland are pretty direct and don't really stop much. Anyway if you get cool runs then low speed lifts are ok but I get spoiled by the six pack at blue. Yesterday at copper was all high speeds except one triple lift and you get so much vert in. A few of the lifts like the American flyer and super bee you get like 2,000 vert right out of the village or base area and then can go higher from there. Those are some long lifts and the terrain is stairstep in nature. Bridger bowl doesn't have high speed lifts and I that mountain. How's Floyds? Mad apple sauce.. 1 Quote
Barb Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 When I went to Copper one of the runs felt so long my legs were toast 2/3 of the way down. When I looked it up later it said 2300' vert. Was off one of those lifts, Super Bee or American Eagle. Quote

I don't know which mountain I'm hitting up tomorrow. Maybe Abasin. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Posted April 14, 2017 At Loveland again today. Scored a $40 lift ticket in the parking lot. Snow is firm now but I think the sun should soften it up soon. Taking a safety break right now. 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) I went back to Loveland today for more spring skiing. The temperature was a few degrees cooler than yest ready to begin but still near 40 degrees. I was able to score a lift ticket in the lot for $40 so I saved $31. About the same amount of people as yesterday. Up lift one the main difference was it was a lot windier. Down a groomed and it was firm. Did some woods as well for a safety break then worked my way over to lift 8 via lift 4. Things still weren't that soft over on lift 8 except near the bottom. I skied awesome which was firm except for one pitch in the middle which was buttery cord then I skied under the lift on chets which was just starting to soften a little. Lift 8 was rocking from the winds and I rode it with my arm draped over the back. I'm guessing close to 40mph sustained winds on the top third. I cut back over to lift four and tried out some woods which was still junky snow but kind of surfy. Did some more lift 4 then cut back over to lift 8 to see how things had softened. things were getting nice and soft. Awesome was still buttery smooth due to lack of traffic. The run connecting over was becoming mashed tators with no gravy and Chets run went right past corn to slop was a pretty good leg burner. I finished back at chair 4 with some off trail steeps leading to a mogul field at the end. I managed the bumps nonstop making slow and deliberate turns skied back to the base back to my car back to Silverthorne got tacos and chips and guac from Mexican place and now chillaxing last night in Silverthorne. I'm gonna ski Abasin tomorrow then spend tomorrow night somewhere near the Denver airport and be back home early Sunday afternoon. Edited April 14, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 5 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 15, 2017 Author Report Posted April 15, 2017 Thanks just slept from 6pm-2am I guess I saved money on supper. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 15, 2017 Author Report Posted April 15, 2017 29 degrees in Silverthorne and 26 at Abasin should take awhile to soften. Quote
moe ghoul Posted April 15, 2017 Report Posted April 15, 2017 If it takes more than 4 hours to soften, see a doctor. 1 Quote
