Well, this didn't go as expected. I figured someone (*cough* BA *cough*) would go on a rant after noticing all but two of the boards in this pic are Never Summers. Also, notice how snowklinger has thrown his board all over my shit. What a dick. :laugh:
I didn't even notice that fucked up carving stance at the time.
Fuck the boards I want to know how someone rides Flows with that stance. I can't even comprehend how their knees have not exploded leaving a trail of cartilage and ligaments across the trail.
Bleh... kinda worried about the opensnow forecast for Colorado. Hope to have some more terrain open by the time I get there in early December. Hopefully the next few weeks of no snow don't cause whatever base you guys do have to disappear.
it won't. our shit doesn't melt out like it does on the coasts. it may have to do with the elevation. when it doesn't snow for a long time during winter it just turns into an icebrick.
its early, and we got a good start. already ahead on terrain opening.
Sk is right. There is some evaporative action but it is nothing like the coasts. High elevations here mean we barely get out of the freezer for most of the season in the mountains.
We are in a drips and drabs cycle right now. That is generally how we get our snow. As long as it continues you'll have decent terrain and snow for your trip.
Probably a good ways north of 50% of the mountain open. Which is great for that time of the year.
We'll see if Joel's forecast update is any better today. I have to admit it sounded a bit disappointing but it was kind of hard to take it too seriously. I was at Loveland pass yesterday and it snowed the whole time I was there. Just a few miles away in Georgetown there were blue skies and you wouldn't have been able to tell it was snowed anywhere at all.
Looked at the webcams today and it looks like the sun is out in full force finally. Time to get some more riding in.
went to keystone today. it was a death trap by 11am. icey and packed with people, especially those that choose to stop suddenly right in front of you #earlyseasonproblems
Going to be at Copper Monday. Anyone else riding tomorrow?
