Popular Post AtomicSkier Posted April 2, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted April 2, 2019 @NazarethSkier Jay and I flew Newark to Vail on Saturday arriving about 40 minutes early. We got our car, and hit the road before our flight was even scheduled to arrive. It's a beautiful drive from EGE to Aspen through Glenwood Canyon. We checked in to the Grand Hyatt, got some Big Wrap for lunch, and was on the Gondola by 3pm. Did about 4 runs then it was time for the Ajax Tavern for truffle tries and champagne. I went out for an early run the following day, and then went for a nice breakfast at the Little Nell. We were going to ski Ajax that day in some beautiful sun. We met up with JohnnyStyle for some high speed runs on Ajax's finest groomers. Was a beautiful day to be out on the snow. Yesterday we skied Buttermilk. I love skiing there. It always brings a massive smile to my face. Between the lack of people, the amazing groomers, the rolling terrain, and the amazing views of pyramid peak. I also demo'd some new Kastle MX99s for the day. The first run or so I almost put them back in the car, but after I adjusted to the shorter radius, I was absolutely loving them. Jay tried them as well and instantly loved them. Today we skied Highlands. We went to a local breakfast place to fill up before a tiring day at Highlands as we were going to hike the bowl, in addition to the other leg burning terrain there. On the way back from breakfast Jay suggested we stop in this insanely priced ski shop to see if they had any MX99s for sale as the deal at the place where I had previously purchased Kastles and demo'd the MX99s was mediocre at best. I almost had to ask if the price was accurate that was listed on the ski. They had 2 pairs of 184cm's left, and we bought them both. Jay even bought bindings and had them mounted in 30 minutes so he could ski them today. They're insanely fun skis and will compliment (not replace) my MX98s very well. Highlands has a completely different vibe than every other Aspen resort. It's the JH of Aspen in terms of clientele and terrain. We skied a bunch of woods before finally hiking the bowl. About 1" of cream cheese fell last night really making the surface soft. Had some pizza and a pitcher of beer to finish off the day. 9 1 2 Quote

eaf Posted April 3, 2019 Report Posted April 3, 2019 Holy cow. That's like buying a bottle of Remy Martin to compliment a still more than half full Hennessy. Both XO. Have mercy. Quote

AtomicSkier Posted April 4, 2019 Author Report Posted April 4, 2019 We skied Snowmass yesterday. Was pretty funky snow up high as it was just warm enough to turn the snow into glue. We opted to stick down low and ski the corn, which was smooth and soft. It was pretty flat light at times and overall a meh day. We skied for about 2.5 hours and called it quits. NSJay’s 4 yr old was going to take another lesson today, so we went back to buttermilk, which I wasn’t going to object to. The high today was in the mid 50s in the valley and 40s up high. I ripped a bunch of groomers off of Tiehack while NSJay and his wife cruises around. Buttermilk may be the smallest of the four mountains here, but it’s got awesome groomers, the best views, and no crowds. I skied until noon and then we picked up Jay’s kid after his lesson to take him on his first “big boy” run from the top. He skied Buttermilk top to bottom (about 1900 vert ft) without falling once. 9 Quote
