i can't get up there until tomorrow morning, but it's supposed to snow most of the day today too, with another 2-4 inches possible. doesn't look like hardly anyone is at a-basin right now, so hopefully things will still be looking good tomorrow. i still haven't been back to montezuma bowl this season...

and you live there. I heard it's pretty good, I am surprised they still have it open considering it's facing the sun and all.

i've just spent a lot of time on other mountains is all. i am a bit worried about the coverage back there, though. i already trashed one of my boards at a-basin this season, and that wasn't even back in the bowl. actually, my board got jacked up on my way back to the bowl, and then visibility got really bad, and i lost the motivation and went home.

I had today off, but bailed on it. Snotel sites were the same from when I left work yesterday 6". 6" on top of a very hardpack base is ok, but not a hooky day. The other factor was the sustained 40mph winds recorded at Berthoud and Loveland passes. So lot's of slopes are just going to be blown off. Could be some could fill on North facing chutes and in the trees though. Tomorrow is the day to get it. The warm up predicted should get rid of most powder by Sunday.

Lift 8 at Loveland is shut down and today was brutal. I wasn't there but I live down the street pretty much and the wind kept me up most of the night. Very cold and jacked up for May 2nd. I have 2 days left at Loveland so I hope tomorrow and the next day are a LOT nicer.

Sounded like it was decent at Loveland. Not enough of a glowing report to make me wish I had played hooky today. The winds were definitely a big factor. Tomorrow is supposed to be good, but get out early. Some reports are calling for thunderstorms by 1pm. That will close down the resort fast. Sunday should just be a good sunny day, maybe some wind.

Lifts 8 and 9 were shut down, so the goods off of those lifts could be very nice on Saturday.

Man the past two days at Loveland have been heaven. I spent yesterday ripping up 10" of pow in a t-shirt and today burnt the groomers all day and got sunburnt in my tshirt haha. There were 3 kegs and an array of bbq's going in the parking lot. Sad day to see Loveland close but I'll still be hitting A-Ba until close. I think I'm going to get a pass there because it'll be good for the rest of this year and all of next year for $300. It'll pay for itself before next season even comes around. I also managed to get myself one of their giant rolls of toilet paper that will probably last me until next season lol.
