Barb Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 21 degrees and feels so warm I regret my mid layer. 10 min to lifts opening. 2 guys in the shuttle had no masks and were getting there stink eye from every single person. WTF do certain people think they are special and don’t have to follow the rules? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 1 2 Quote

Not crowds so much as lack of lift capacity as the Tram is only taking 25 people vs 100, gondolas taking a few per cabin va 6-8 and the quads are mostly two people...check out the webcams. It is a pow day but also a very unfriended time of year out there. I know they ran out of parking today. 1 1 Quote
Popular Post Barb Posted January 22, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Posted January 22, 2021 First off, Doug, this is the Crested Butte thread. I don’t want to hear about Jackson Hole here. On to the snow....crowds were non existent as is usual for a non holiday weekday here. My first run as I was traversing over to Paradise Lift, I got into my head a bit and realized these were the exact conditions when I fell last season and got my concussion. On the head wall where I fell I was very cautious, bad energy. did 3 laps on Paradise and the snow was great! Took a different way down each time and was able to find some bumps on every run. By the third lap fog had rolled in and visibility was pea soup so I headed down to East River lift. First run was on Black Eagle and 1/2 way down there were some big bumps to navigate but they were nice and soft so it wasn’t too bad. Did a few more over there and headed back past the Paradise Lift to the Teocalli. Wanted to hit Buschwack as it wasn’t opens last time I was here. The bumps there are good size for me to practice on. Did 2 laps on that and headed back to the front side doing a bit of light trees where I could find them. Should snow all day through tonight. Have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a shit show. 9 3 Quote

JFskiDan Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 Had me jealously looking at the cams today.....no lines at the base i could see. looks like a great day. 1 Quote
AtomicSkier Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 I like the sound of no lines, no people, etc. I just looked at the reservations, and there isn't a single day that is unavailable. I guess I won't have to worry too much about getting my weekday reservations. 1 Quote
Barb Posted January 23, 2021 Author Report Posted January 23, 2021 Yeah in line waiting for the rope to drop the people in front of me were scanned but did not have a reservation. Liftee was totally cool and said, “You have 5 minutes just go on your phone and make a reservation now.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote
Barb Posted January 23, 2021 Author Report Posted January 23, 2021 Yeah it snowed but visibility was terrible and my friends didn’t want to buy day tickets so we snowshoed instead. I def think skinning is so much more efficient. Snowshoeing wears you out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote

Barb Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Posted January 24, 2021 Yeah I knew I would hear shit for that but honestly my old eyes are getting so bad that I really can’t see when visibility is bad. No depth perception, may even look into those prescription goggles for days like that. 1 2 Quote

Today the visibility was so low.. then like you kinda see eye floaters because everything is white & swirling and then it makes me dizzy. I tried to focus on the trees where the clouds weren’t hanging as much. 1 Quote

Popular Post Barb Posted January 25, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Posted January 25, 2021 Snow was glorious today! Just tried to stick to as many ungroomed/bump/tree runs as I could find. Except for Paradise bowl! Always have to take my first warm up run down there. Only a few pics, light kinda flat so bumps not real visible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 9 2 1 Quote
saltyant Posted January 25, 2021 Report Posted January 25, 2021 Wow, I gotta retire and move out west as soon as possible. 2 Quote

I feel like that terrain park on the left wasnt there last year. Unless thats not the lift i am thinking it is. How r the new skis? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Barb Posted January 26, 2021 Author Report Posted January 26, 2021 Skied with my neighbor this morning. She not only skis every day, she skins the resort before opening M-F. Let’s just say she is in fantastic shape. She showed me some great little tree stashes that I need to try again. Only took one pic because I had to try and just keep up with her through the trees and bumps. She makes it look effortless. Light real flat again today, tomorrow supposed to be sunny, can’t wait!
