Taking a much needed break from some physical exhaustion. Spent the morning in the Parsonn's area and there was so much untracked deep powder it was insane! I got lucky and skied to Panoramic Express lift the exact second they opened it, so i got second chair. I was a nervous wreck the first run not knowing where the hell i was going in low visibility, but it wasnt that hard and was epic! Also got stuck on a bump run and made it down really slow, but didnt fall or even take off my RTMs. Probably the best skiing day of my life. Just kidding about probably...

Better than your powder day last year at Stowe?  I feel like you’re getting more into skiing again.

Check out anything in the upper 80's to mid 90's....those will do well for you in the perder. Super phattys could be a bit unwieldy for you.

Guitar you’re the only one I know who would say that.  Upper 80s to mid 90s are blue mountain daily drivers.

Yeah, without a doubt. The powder today was deeper and easier to turn.

Wow Salty...I'll bet you're not regretting skipping VT now. Nice pics and WTGAI

Thanks Ridge. No regrets because I knew I would get more likes in CO than in VT.

Ok

That bottom pic is rad. I had a makeshift blue cord from Mohegan Sun casino that I used to secure my GoPro to my helmet in case it fell off. Fortunately it never fell off. I havent used my GoProfessional in quite a while.

Winter Park I think. Paying window price of $177 (ouch) so ill be cheap tomorrow and maybe do half day at Loveland. Wont get to Copper this time, maybe next year.

[RidgeRacer]

Think of it this way...the $$ you save on your cell phone data plan is being put to good use!

Please go demo something in the 95-105 range that's as long as you are tall....(At least up to your nose)

Fixed it for you..

Ouch @ window price. Last time I paid window price anywhere it was probably no more than $30.

Salty....Skiing a foot of fresh at Winter Park on RTMs is like choosing a fixed wheel bike for the hill climb.

Well the cheapest I could find for Winter Park was $144 and those were nonrefundable. I have no idea how to get any cheaper tickets than that, if you know of a way let me know.

Enjorales is pretty good at finding the blue light special.
Maybe he'll see this.

I used a coupon from Barb for WP last year, got a deal at Copper with lodging purchase this year (which included free tix for kids all 3 days, 1 free day for me and discounts the other 2 days). There are so many awesome places to ski in CO, I figure out which of them I can get a good deal at and go there rather than getting my heart set on one and then finding the best price I can get there.

Great to hear/see that your having an awesome trip with lots of fresh snow.

[tarponhead]

Skiing a half day because of ticket price is short sighted. You spent all the $ on flight hotel (plus Vt hotel) and car so what’s an additional 40-50? Plus you already burned a front end day of your trip on a field trip.

Regardless, have fun
