It has been a few seasons since we have had a good January. Something in my bones says this one is going to be snowy. So far it seems to be going that way. hopefully you all get bulls eyed by a storm on your trip. May it start dumping an hour after you arrive.
The powder right now has been the super dry variety. 4-5% water content. Aka, blower. I hope you get to experience some of that.
It's actually been a bit more dense over here. Not that super light blower your describing. It's nothing to turn your nose up to but not the ultra light 5% or less that we get later in jan-feb. It feels really nice under the board though! . Rode 2 hours this morning and now I gotta be ready to fix some broken shit.....
4 weeks from tomorrow I got a Monarch trip with the boys planned. If we have to stay local cuz its so good...oh well....anyone willing to be slightly vetted is invited, we are a tight group of 3-5....Feb 2-5
*the shit in my driveway this morning was crazy blower. look like styrofoam bits.
Well this morning was nice till the assholes showed up and I don't mean the tourists. Breck reported 1, there was easily a foot in most spots. It dumped 10 inches in the first 4 hours they were open. Free refills for sure.
Gonna head to the Boat on monday. Will there still be powder a day after it snows there. Never been before. Any good tips or spots to check out? I am kind of a tree/mogul guy.
It's way deeper than a foot. We did the minturn mile this afternoon, I was waiting for friends On top of chair 3 on my last post, and it was waist deep all the way down to the creek bed heading out..... the area east of skyline lift, iron mask - steep and deep is super deep. All the tree areas in bluesKy are super deep. Anything south and east facing is pretty loaded up right now too. northern wide open terrain had its goods dispersed by the wind.
Loveland should get theirs tomorrow. I'll definitely be up Friday morning, then off to Vegas for a week. Work, not pleasure. I would never go to Vegas on my own free will.
I just got off work and I'm sick but I may wake up early again for first chair..... May be the best snowfall of the year if it continues through the night. Today was amazing snow and no one was out until I left at 1030..... Even then there wasn't a single line.
The rest of the week is looking really good on opensnow. Even if the lower end of Joel's predictions are accurate we are in for some good snow.
Plus the Bronco's have a day game on Sunday which should keep crowds to a minimum :yahoo:. I couldn't give two shits about the Broncos, but when they play Sunday day games it gives me a boner.
The slides in bounds this year have been bad. Looking up into the Bowls when I walk out my back door it just looks so bad. That unstable layer is fucking things everywhere.
In other news hoping everyone is too drunk from Ullr Fest to make it up early this morning.
