I'm heading out on friday. Anyone ridden there or at Vail recently? Is the lack of snow really that bad? Anyways, would love to have some feedback!

Park, groomers will be top notch. The snow is good and it has stayed cold.

It has snowed pretty much consistently smaller amounts up until this week.

Bluebird days!!! I love going fast at the Beav.

I have ridden 10 of the last 14 days. My son has ridden 26 of the last 30 days. The snow is definitely not bad. It's not waist deep powder but it's definately not ice..... Yesterday and today were the best days so far. My patio says we got 4" today and 3 yesterday.... Suprisingly vail under reported the snowfall amount.... There was a nice Cush layer this morning... I was on and off the mountain before 1030 though, had to work early today. I didn't have to deal with the busloads.....

Sounds like its not so bad. hopefully the snow showers will keep up and escalate a bit when i get there

Thought you all should know that today was pretty nice at the Beav. Larkspur bowl opened and i got some real nice powder runs in before it got tracked out. The park was jammed so i tried to steer clear. all in all a nice bluebird day

Hopefully the snow forecast for Monday will hold up.
