Pics from WebCams from A-Basin are making me happy

Seems like they opened today officially - limited runs but who cares; season is on!

I'm thinking about driving up next weekend to get in a couple laps.

Hey - definitely let me know how it works out. Keystone & Copper opens Nov 2 and Breck will be open by the 9th. I'm actually strongly considering a run at Copper so I can take a training session at Woodward.

Good luck if you go!

People have their favorites, but Copper is as good as any mountain within a couple hours, it is a great, fun, diverse mountain! My favorite in CO, but I haven't been south of i70 yet.

Also, Woodward is unparalleled if you want to pay for training and progress. If I were spending money on a lesson, I'd go take it at Woodward Copper regardless if my season pass was for elsewhere.

I might hold off on going up to A Basin, if you are looking hitting up Woodard. I have been wanting to get in a training session since two years ago and didn't get a chance to do so yet. Friends that I ride with doesn't believe in pay training to speed up progression, at least not in park riding.

On Woodward, I'm old and already broke my neck snowboarding once so I was hoping the foam pits would be a place to experiment without injury. Plua they are running big discounts now.

But all that blows now as I broke my finger surfing the swell ahead of Hurricane Sandy last week so I am out of any major sh*t for a few weeks.

Still may hit Killington out here with the new storm but likely will just chill for a few weeks. Argh!!!

You don't really want to hit up Killy or Snow with all man made snow.

Woodward looks good. If you go let me know

BruceWard · 11-05-2012, 12:27 PM

Indeed, 'cept man-made beats dirt

At this point, I'm very hopeful there is a natural snow blast later this week in VT but we'll see. Likely wont try for Copper till 2013 but depends on my recovery period.

That sucks on the broken finger...there's a storm coming through Friday and Saturday. Hopefully, it should open the door on more storm.
