I found some knee deep wet snow this morning in a few spots. Mostly on steeper bump runs and trees. North woods and high line were the best spots. i wish I would have worn my goretex pants today.....
BC was good today as well, snowed till about noon as well today. How are the back bowls looking right now at Vail? Our plan is to head there on Tuesday depending on how the snow falls Monday night.
The track on the bottom between the back bowls and blue sky is sketchy but the terrain itself is in decent shape. Good base. With fresh snow on top it's really nice....
Sucks. It might finally snow and I'm not gonna be able to ride this week. Got a business venture I gotta get tied together. "Operation GTFO of Corporate America" in full effect.
Not sure how much more riding I'll be able to squeeze in this season to be honest. Juggling a full-time job, going back to school full-time for my MBA, and getting a business up and running. I'm busy.
And during all this I get sent to the Midwest to work on a T-Line for a couple weeks. I'm sure the conditions will be back to what we call normal when I get back.
If someone in the Broomfield, Thornton, Golden area is heading up Wednesday holla' atcha' boy! I got pitch on gas $$$ and if absolutely necessary I can do like George Carlin.
Getting pumped for Vail tomorrow, Keystone snowed pretty much all day from 11-4 today so that only means more goodness for the more western resorts. I wouldnt mind going to silverton though, 42"!!
We have probably gotten 8" today. 4 since the mountain closed and it's still coming down. This morning was the wet dense snow but it has changed to the light fluffy stuff now, still coming down hard. Just got off work.....
-Wednesday
Snow with areas of blowing snow. High near 15. Wind chill values as low as -30. Windy, with a west northwest wind 25 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 45 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
Today was pretty awesome. Made my way across the front side. Dropped China, blue skusky, sun up and game creek. They all felt like 8-12". The wind loaded shit was crazy. Blue sky was deep..... knee to thigh with loading on lovers leep as well as steep and deep.
Ill be back for more tomorrow. It was blue skys today but started snowing around 3, its still snowing.
Also. I still was getting fresh tracks at 1 just before work...

Sweet! Good to hear. Yeah, China (Especially Dragon's Teeth and upper Poppyfields), blue sky, and game creek were all really good on Sunday, so I was hoping they'd get even better with what Vail got yesterday. Joel wasn't expressing much confidence in snow totals from now until Thursday but your report is giving me some confidence about tomorrow!
