They only do free concerts

Might hit JF Sunday 3/5 and some combo of Catamount/B.East/Magic/Greek 3/11-12

Should be the best stretch of skiing yet this season

Did an afternoon session at Eldora today. It was a sunny warm day with no wind. So rare for Eldora. Started out on the front side. The snow wasn’t great. Hasn’t snowed in a while and things were pretty scraped off.  After 4 different runs in the front I went to the backside to see if the snow was better there. And it was a bit. Corona trail was pretty scraped off as it’s the main one on that side. 
 

Then I did a couple on Muleshoe, that snow was much better. Did one more back there forget the name then called it a day. No lift lines whatsoever.  I miss Crested Butte. Lol

@Barb you’ve really been getting after it this season.  In that scrapped off snow, no shame in doing the pocono shuffle..shit in JH on one of the herb routes to the base I was doing the windshield wiper skiing like controlled skids..it’s how we ski around here a lot.

The guy who wrote the letter.

That hand written letter looks photoshopped.  However, if it’s legit, 2 points:

1.  Ron from Montana didn’t write that.  That is clearly female handwriting.  No male on planet earth could write that neat.

2.  Why the hell would you cram 2 sentences on top of each other between lines when the paper is already college ruled?

As many times as I have talked to people about skiing, I have never been asked if I can do a backflip or a 360.

Well, can you do either?

[zzslope]

Thanks for asking.

It’s amazing how many former snowboarders I’ve met that “used to be able to do backflips and sh*t” 🙄

Just booked hotel for my son and I to ski in VT from 3/31 to 4/1.  I’m hoping to do a long weekend the following weekend as well.  Anybody interested in skiing with me in VT on Easter weekend?

I don’t even know when Easter is but it’s a good possibility for me and can play by ear based on weather since lodging is readily available last minute.  Where are you going with your son?  April 1 is one of my favorite holidays.

Unless their name is rodeo Steve, I say pictures or it didn’t happen.

Probably sugarbush and killington. Definitely ikon places depending on conditions.

Just got back from a morning Eldora session. Typical Eldora wind this morning, runs not too bad but lifts were windy AF. 
 

They got some snow over the weekend and 2” overnight. Conditions were very good. Crowds were non existent. Decided to try and focus on trees today. Did 4 of my runs in Jolly Jolie glades. Not exactly skiing, but sliding around. It made me laugh that they are marked a double black and not half as steep as the tree run we did in CB which was only a single black. 
But it definitely made my session more fun to check out something new at Eldora.

Learning to ski bumps helps immensely when skiing trees.
