Left around 11, probably right in time for roads to start getting bad. Super envious of anyone who will be skiing the next few days. Yeah, I did yell "EAF" from the Challenge Express and saw you look up. The other 2 or 3 times I saw you skiing towards the quad gates. You weren't the only one that said they felt cold today, I did too and heard someone on the lift say the same thing. I actually skied 'til 10 today (>90 minutes) because it was so grate out, but the line waiting was starting to wear me down so I hit the parking lot to drink some Yoohoos and hang out with @MattEDGE.

Yeah that was grate, where did that coating of untracked snow come from? I never get why Razor's is usually good while Challenge is the suck, even though they're literally right next to each other 🤷♂️ My only wild ass guess is they put better snow blower machines on Razor's for the race team.

Challenge was good first thing and the snow was from the snowmaking cannons. Upper challenge also had it. Quote

Well a lot of skiers and snowboarders aren’t lifelong participants. It’s sad but not everybody is as passionate about the sport as us. 1 Quote

It’s sad but not everybody is as passionate about the sport as us. I feel like it hits snowboarders worse than skiers. I see a lot of skiers got started at a young age by their parents, and they stick with it as it becomes a kind of family tradition. Most snowboarders got into it because it was the cool thing to do when we were younger, not because our parents took us with on trips. Some might have skier parents who decided to snowboard instead, but for a lot of kids once they grew up a little and got into other things, or moved or had kids or whatever it just dropped by like other things do. There's not the same "its a family thing" keeping it going. 2 Quote
Benm Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 took first run on NMDW yesterday since the time it had been closed. i only saw one person on it, but that setup is really impressive. Quote

There's not the same "its a family thing" keeping it going. Excellent observation. Snowboarding having more of a hip factor - shared with skate and surf boards) lends itself a bit more to passing as a fad. I would also guess that park activity (whether on skis or boards, but boards more prevalent in parks) becomes less popular as folks get older, feel their bodies are more fragile, and become more risk averse. 1 Quote

Yeah, Joel at opensnow is saying 6-12. More than that I’d have to rent wider skis anyway. Probably not going to pursue adding their early access. $59 and only gives 15 minute priority, although I think dedicated lines at each lift all day is probably the main draw Quote

I don’t care if I’m off topic. Senor sausage Sunday needs to ski some freshies. Quote

There are two locations, one is closer to I-70 on the way to the airport. It's one of my favorite neighborhood places with delicious food. I can't decide which pizza is my favorite but definitely get the fat tire nachos. They're my favorite nachos ... ever. Quote

I’ve never spent any time in actually Denver..just Denver airport area(aurora) and I’ve been to Boulder a few times. Boulder is just like Burlington Vermont. Their Pearl street marketplace was designed by the same guy who designed church street marketplace. Plus it’s referenced in a chain smokers song. Word Lyfe Quote
