Popular Post Barb Posted January 21, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Posted January 21, 2022 There is a nice layer of ice on the streets under the little bit of fresh snow. It’s a sketchy game walking in ski boots to the bus. We will see how long it takes until I lose. 16 degrees and light snow when I arrived at the mountain. Visibility was poor so I opted for Red Lady instead of Silver Queen lift. That terrain turns into pea soup quick. Did some runs off the front, then headed down to East River. On low viz days it’s always a bit better down there. Snow was better down there too. It has not snowed here in a while so happy for what was falling today to freshen things up. It was the first day of my short season that I felt good on my skis. Non existent lift lines. Friday is the new Saturday closer to the front range, so this was nice! Gonna be bluebird next 2 days. Trees pretty cruddy and icy. 11 2 Quote
Popular Post Barb Posted January 22, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Posted January 22, 2022 Gorgeous day today. Decided to take my dog snowshoeing this morning and save skiing for the w afternoon because…why not? Washington Gulch is always gorgeous and usually empty, even on a weekend. 1 degree when I arrived but felt warm in the sun. Saw this group of 4 skinning up. There is an area called Coney’s that I have had my eye on but it is avalanche prone. Right now the avy danger is low. When my friends come up I am gonna see if they want to check it out. Then in to the skiing after lunch. Lines were about a 5 min wait so not bad. Closer to home lift lines are nuts on weekends. First run down Paradise Bowl and it was surprisingly icy and really scraped off. Decided to head down to the Teocalli Lift which is painfully slow but has good practice bumps and trees. Bump pic for @indiggio The bus is hella crowded in the afternoon, standing room only. Am I the only one who gets paranoid they will eat shot stepping off in ski boots holding skis/poles? Every.single.time 11 1 Quote

Barb Posted January 24, 2022 Author Report Posted January 24, 2022 Another glorious morning here in CB! Got in line at 8:47 and was there first person. A few of us gathered waiting to be scanned. Then some guy riding a skateboard thing (don’t know what they are called) blows by everyone and gets right up to the closed sign. So I get up next to him but far enough away that his douchebaggery doesn’t get on me since he is dripping with it. When we get scanned he doesn’t have a pass. He is an instructor and says it in his CB jacket and he is just doing 1 run before work. The guy says he can’t let him ride without a pass. Bye Felicia! It was awesome. Quite cold this morning and I forgot my mid layer puffy like a dummy. First run down Paradise was fast snow but way too shady. Headed down to East River and the sun was already out there…nice. Felt like just lapping groomers today and they were fun. Back up to Paradise and the sun was out finally up there. Then headed to Teo for 2 quick bump runs. Well not exactly quick, but fun. Didn’t realize I only took 2 pics. 7 1 1 Quote

Barb Posted January 26, 2022 Author Report Posted January 26, 2022 Did some uphill this morning w my neighbor at the resort. She has to be home in time to get her kids ready for school so we had to leave at 5am. Weather forecast was 2 degrees but it was actually -16 She belongs to the country club so she has a locker there. Very convenient if you have kids. Was nice booting up inside. She usually gets to the top of the second lift (Paradise) but we only made it to the top of Red Lady when she had to turn around. We took 2 cars so I could continue but I was pretty tired so I turned around too. Will admit it was a bit scary skiing in the dark with nothing but a headlamp so I just took it slow. I will definitely be getting back out there on my own but plan on a 6:30 arrival so I am skiing down in daylight. I set my Garmin to skiing but it only tracked the downhill 8 1 Quote
Popular Post Barb Posted January 29, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Posted January 29, 2022 Good day today. Had some friends drive down last night and another one her way tonight. Was the typical frigid morning so we waited until 10 to go. Light crowds and no lift lines. struggled on this run, note my very bad form. 11 1 Quote

Popular Post Barb Posted February 7, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Good day today. First heading to the bus stop this morning my neighbor stopped and gave me a ride and close in parking with her fancy country club status. Got 3rd chair in an empty morning. Weather about 3 degrees but the sun was out and it felt good. First run down Silver Queen and tried to head down to East River but trail to access was roped off. Liftee on the Teo said there was a mechanical hold. So up Teo lift then onto Paradise. Some good non committal bumps on the sides (my favorite kind). Did a few runs of those. Then some easy trees back to the base and up Silver Queen again. Ended the morning w some more mellow trees and took the 11 am bus home. Took my ski boots off and took the pooch for a nice long walk. CB is dog paradise! Lots of places you can just let them off leash. Walked into town for a chai and my coffee place just let go of the mask mandate. Dumb as it sounds, felt good to walk in maskless and see peoples smiles. Walked the length of town just since it was such a nice sunny day. Edited February 7, 2022 by Barb 11 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 7, 2022 Report Posted February 7, 2022 The walking in maskless was a great feeling back in May when masks were no longer required in PA..today my customer came in wearing a mask and I asked if I should wear mine and she said no I’m gonna take mine off. 1 Quote
Barb Posted February 7, 2022 Author Report Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) There was about 6 weeks starting in May we were maskless here. Denver and surrounding counties just dropped the masks last week. Boulder county still holding on for dear life. Edited February 7, 2022 by Barb Quote
