That shit looks like a repeat of last season.

Ill probably be in Blue Sky Basin most of the day tomorrow....if you see black and blue checkered pants and the blue NS SL in my pic say whats up.

Argo do you know how often the free buses come by on weekdays? I saw somewhere on their website it varies from every 15 mins to every hour! No way im waiting an hour...at that point ill just drive out and then back in the parking garages every 2 hours hah

Argo - could you update this thread later tonight? Joel Gratz predicting 3-5" today and 3-5" tonight at Vail.

If that is the case (6-10" on top of what's fallen the last couple days), I'm considering if it is worth it to use a vacation day or not.

PS - who takes the photos that Vail posts on Facebook? I want that person to follow me around and take HQ pics of me slashin the gnarly pops.

Its dumping for sure. Been riding all morning since first gondola. I think i rode up with the forum member thay had his girlfriend and two other chicks with him. Dont remember who it was. If it continues like this all night the total will be a foot or so... as it is the tracks are covered every lap i have made. Wind is riping on the nack side though ....

Just got back from 3 days at Monarch...it was epic. What a great lil mountain! We hiked the shit out of it too...so fucking tired.

We just have shit camera phones, I'll put up some pics, but this is from opensnow.com, a picture of it yesterday :D



edit: how about that wind though? Despite the snow 50+mph gusts fun does not make Loveland tomorrow?

I decided against going up last night, hoping that we get at least a couple more storms in Feb / March that are as good (hopefully even better) than this one was so I can use a vacation day.

6" since 2:30 yesterday and Vail reported 9" this morning. I'll be riding Saturday morning anyway, so I know there will be some fresh pockets still available.

Hopefully it snows next week as well, but Gratz recent comment makes that seem like it is potentially not what he thought.

Vail was amazing yesterday...visibility was horrible but thats because it was dumping literally ALL day, also kept the crowds away which was nice. Driving to and back was super sketchy though, be careful if your heading up.

I only took a couple pics yesterday cuz the visibility was so low but Ill put them up later

Visibility was fine. Just came home to chill and eat before work. 4 hours was plenty of fun.... Snow is still falling and doesn't appear to be stopping any time soon. There will be fresh stashes for days to come.... Today would have been a food sick day though.... Mountain was relatively empty. Only line was once at the lonshead gondola and a 90 second wait at chair 4.... 10 and 11 were totally empty.... Backside was empty....
