Popular Post JFskiDan Posted March 11, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted March 11, 2020 Travel day. uneventful flights. Gunnison airport is a lot like Jackson Hole, tiny little airport with like 2 gates. Barb met me at the airport for a quick ride to her place at Crested Butte. Went for a nice walk around town, which is a really cool place. looks like some periodic snow in the forecast, with some warmer temps mixed in. Might be some decent snowfall for Friday night. This is what you get when you stay with Barb. I forget what this is called, but it was awesome. Ba Dom arrives tomorrow, Barb and I will be at the mountain tomorrow for opening. Cant wait to check this place out. 12 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 PHL is a literal ghost town. I've never seen a major airport this quiet. Walked right up to TSA...no line whatsoever. Kicking myself because I could've slept in another hour! 3 Quote

The mountains were certainly not blue. They should have been red. 2 1 Quote

Its in the middle of a neighborhood. There are houses right across the street. Very interesting. snow has moved in. Loaded baked potato lunch and back out for some more. No cell service on the mountain. 8 Quote

JFskiDan Posted March 11, 2020 Author Report Posted March 11, 2020 Done with day 1. Great skiing again with Barb. Visibilty was an issue for most of the day. 1st thing it was better up top, then the clouds moved up, went a little lower, was better still a little flat. Right as we went in for lunch it started snowing. After lunch it was sunny for a bit then got socked in again. So lots of different weather conditions today. Snow was really good all day, just got a touch sticky towards the end. Majority of the snow in the trees i went to play in was decent, but i did find some stuff that had been softened and refrozen. Doubtful we will see much sun this trip, some snow tonight and tomorrow am, and it looks like possibly some significant snow friday night into saturday. barb and i left about 3, Dom is getting a few runs in to close. 8 Quote
