I know it's early, but damn, we need some snow.

Colorado | OpenSnow

That shit looks like a repeat of last season.

For sure. Intended to get boots when over at yours anyway. Foot pain to a certain degree is an accepted inevitable normality while snowboarding (reduced) and hiking (unresolved) for me. If you manage to reduce that, I'll get 3 pairs :).
Is a week enough time to get "difficult feet" fitted?

Vail pass, There are a couple of zones we plan to film and photo in this winter and this is one of them. Max drop with snow is about 35-40'. This particular area has some really scenic angles to shoot from.....

I was happy to see that most of the snow had melted away.... Ground is pretty well prepped for the snow to start falling, without a big ass weak rotten snow layer on the bottom of it......

Will be in Colorado from November 14th till December 18th.

Have a couple of GH3 Panasonic camera's and huge assortment of lens. :embarrased1:

PM me when your ready to shoot.

An extra camera with telephoto lens could be of value. :eyetwitch2:

Checked opensnow this morning and it looks like Steamboat got about 10". I wonder if making some turns up there tomorrow would be possible? :dunno:

Anyone else getting a little stir crazy waiting for the season to start?:crazy2: If nothing else, I might just end up buying another day lift ticket to Abasin to satiate my need to snowboard.

In other news, Keystone and Copper are still sticking to their planned opening dates. If everything works out, anyone else planning on hitting up Copper for opening day on Friday?

Hell Yes...

No, but I have a Copper Pass. Won't be up quite that early, but will be up soon enough



I went mountain biking today.. it was cold. All I was thinking about is trying out my new splitboard in the BC in deep snow. That's not totally true, actually.. my MT bike was working great and it was great to get out.
But, I want snow... hard to be patient. Last season made me want it more...

By the way: looking for safety minded BC splitboard partners.

They are willing to open with 10% of trails available, yet the day they close they'll have 100% open. If you actually looked at their financial numbers I'm sure it makes sense.

I'm guessing end of season it's almost all season passers who don't even buy lunch their so even if people show up it just doesn't pay off much at that point.

Yeah its up on black lakes, another is about 2 miles down from shrine towards red cliff and another about a mile off shrine ridge.

It's definitely hiking and biking time until significant snow falls.... I cleaned up my bike and put it ways 2 weeks ago but pulled it back out.... We have been hiking, playing basketball and gym ratting.
