GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Have fun. For what it's worth April is one of the snowiest months of the year at Abasin. Looking forward to reports. You should try and post some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 So the lodging plan changed. Now staying at Georgetown Mountain Inn. Person we were supposed to be visiting has a wife who doesn't care for visitors. Wives are way over rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Person we were supposed to be visiting has a wife who doesn't care for visitors. Wives are way over rated.That's better saves an ass ton of driving. I did the math and you were looking at a total of about 9 hours of driving in 48 hours and I didn't even drive that much out there in a week. Now you get to drive over Loveland pass as well which is an awesome drive. I also hate staying at people's houses..I have to worry about leaving skid marks on the toilet bowl and being considerate and shit. I love hotels...I also like diners, drive inns, dives, dancing and trains. Edited April 21, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Yeah I am happy about the change. It was more my travel mate that wanted to stay with his friend. Less driving works for me. And sleeping at 8k should make it easier to adapt to altitude and get earlier start. Plus paid for hotel with credit card points and has an outdoor hot tub. Already bought my afternoon ticket for Sat before the lodging plan changed. That's fine. Gotta deal with ski rental in AM and not gonna check into hotel before 2 am. Will get an early start on Sunday. Edited April 21, 2017 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What elevation is your buddy's friends house at?? I slept at 8700 feet in Silverthorne. Had a little headache but cured that with natural herbal remedies.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Never found out his altitude. Moot point now. I looked it up its 8800 feet. Leadville is over 10,000 feet. You must be getting excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Figure I will pay the extra $ to rent at AB so if there is any issue with equip they can deal with it there, though I could save some $ doing it closer to hotel. Hope it doesn't kill my reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it doesn't kill my reputation. Always better to rent at the ski area in case there are issues. Your reputation will actually improve if you post a nice report. This time of year reports are few and far between so they are much appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Got 10 great runs in in my PM ticket. Day 28 was my best skiing of the year so far, and first non east coast skiing in 10 years. Focused mostly on the glades runs on the bottom part as the air up top was a bit thin for me on day 1, but rode every major lift at least once. Was bummed I only got one run in Zuma bowl as that closed at 315, but did get on the bonus 4:05 express lift to end the day and will be back for more tomorrow. Also enjoyed some hiking and hot tub. Heading back for a full day tomorrow. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
