Good morning from Telluride!  Looking to be a beautiful day here.  It's not off to a bad start, either.

I rated this thread 4 stars, but not 5 yet, since it's 3 pages long and you haven't posted a single helicopter shot or credit card worthy snapshot of you shredding neck deep snorkel worthy pow pow on your Këstles. When is the stoke barometer going to hit 100%??

I do like the HUD in your sportscar though, and nice lodge 😯

I'm glad you like the HUD.  It's really good for keeping you "heads up" while changing songs, looking at navigation directions, etc.  

Sorry that this thread hasn't been up to your amazing report standards.  I'll try to do better.

What’s a HUD?? Housing and urban development?

Wow just wow.  I’m just wondering if Nancy cooked for Atomic Jeff yet.  The real fun starts tomorrow when NMSki and Johnny law arrive.  The villa is gonna smell like a fart.

I’m not jealous.  I like staying in hotel rooms not in Villas.

A beautiful day here in Telluride.  I love the lack of rush.  Skied right from the house a little after 9 and we were on our way.  Sun was out, snow was great, and gave @skiincy a tour of Telluride in the morning.  Quick stop back at the house to get my pack and grab something to eat, as I wanted to hike Bald Mtn in advance of @NMSKI and @Johnny Law’s arrival to check out conditions.  Hiked up Bald Mtn quickly, and enjoyed some deep and untracked, albeit heavy turns.  Little too heavy for my liking.  Skied directly to Gorrono Ranch where I assumed the position and got numb.  @skiincy and @Barb arrived shortly there after.  Going to ski for a few hours tomorrow AM and then go pick up the boys at MTJ.  JADIP.

Where I was going to get numb later....

The position...

Adding to the Telluride stoke. It was great groomer day. Skied from 9:30-3pm, about 25k very.

Started by skiing down to the Chondola. Here’s the Chondola x gondola crossing

Sun was shinning. The corduroy was set.

Heading up to start my whirlwind tour of Telluride with Jeff 

 

The sun peaked in and out but most of the time it was gorgeous weather

The majestic bowl was quite wind swept (to the left of this pic below)

Took the plunge lift and played in the area towards the end of the day. @RootDKJ-saw this and thought of you

Ended the day by finding @AtomicSkier and @Barb in the gonorrhea ranch.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Sweet pictures and cool that you met Barb.

Sorry @Barb it was a long day.  
 

I’m already passed the halfway point of today’s drive, both in time and distances. 400 miles left to Denver, and ~5h45m remaining.  I’ve been driving through a snow storm for the last 100+ miles but it was mostly blowing across the road and could still keep speeds up around 75-80.  Clear of the weather now with the hammer down.  

Lol.

 

Your heads up display is telling you to make a right turn....in 449 miles!

Yup.  It was over 500 at one point.  Just kept telling myself “you just have to drive from home to North Carolina”

Crazy I usually just memorize directions or have them on a seperwre window on my phone. 

[toast21602]

Safe travels @Johnny Law and @NMSKI! Really looking forward to the reports over the next few days!

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

This is getting good!!!

[AtomicSkier]

I'm going to ski for a little this AM, head to Montrose early to get a run in on dry ground / lower elevation, and then pick up the boys.  I wonder if they'll need a road soda?

Wow you have a really hard life. Maybe buy some soda pops from the vending machine

I hope you have a fresh robe to wear when you pick them up at the airport.

Get some edibles for both of them. 

[NMSKI]

I’m hanging in Denver getting ready for my connection.  Contemplating Mexican food for lunch to kick off the HAFE properly.
