damn! wish I was there. actually seriously thinking about booking a last minute trip for saturday morning, but looking at all the travel warnings for flights and roads and such, is that a bad idea? looking at flying into denver and checking out loveland and a-basin. never been. anybody local have any thoughts - how quick do you guys clear roads and such? thanks!

I wouldn't recommend it. Roads were shit today, still shit, will remain shit till sunday. It's snowing so hard that my tracks from 9 a.m. were filled in by 11:30.

If my parking lot is any indication of the roads it's going to be a slaughterfest tomorrow on I 70. But on a plus side I'll be getting freshies! A basin anyone?

I think 1/2 the state of Colorado's going to be at Abasin tomorrow. Going to Vail...If Vail pass is closed, will hit Breck instead.
