I skied several untracked and lightly tracked runs. The key is to stick to the woods and stuff that was groomed before some people gave been getting owned by snowsnakes. Snowing hard heavy and wet. Gonna do about two more runs then stop at mid mountain for a bacon Bloody Mary and an IPA and dry off a little.

They have jack. Snowing a very wet snow.

I’ll write an actual report for today since it was so badass Left hotel at 820AM..a little later than I wanted to. Was wet snow falling in silverthorn Dillon and keystone..wet roads until the last mile or so below the parking lot. Was expecting a lot of people at 840am..booted up fast at JFDan and Ryan speed all business secured my two day ticket at 849am they needed my name and my zip code. Glad I’m not a fugitive or I’d just give my alias Mark Miller. Was about the third row of people in line I inched my way up a bit maybe 8th chair but half the people in front of me were borders or were going straight for terrain park ended up second chair on Lenawee..a miracle skating skills on fleek..ended up first civilian down power line right along the snow fence where it always piles up. People above on the lift were yelling it’s powder. Visibility was bad top third then got better new snow was shallow enough for even some low mountain meadow skipping in areas where I knew either were groomed or not usually bump runs. Bump runs owned people made the long Lenawee ride exciting some spectacular falls. Wasn’t the bro brah crowd more the Denver Dave and Chicago Carly many have season passes and only go a handful of days a year but they get after it. The weather was good or bad depending on how much you like skiing untracked snow. Snow falling was wet and sometimes ice pellets mixed in..did a run early on all the way to the base. Did a repeat of run number one again off Lenawee then rode Lenawee again and took the new rope tow over to Montezuma. It’s just a rope..I used to skate that section uphill so saves the legs and the lungs at over 12,000 feet. Over on on the Montezuma side visibility was bad up high but skiing along fences, rope lines and near lift towers often yields the most untracked. Not much competition over there for freshies most taking the two main herb roots. Mid angel woods all in play steeper ones have rocks and bumps low snowpack on that side of the mountain. A few areas of almost eastern ice where it filters to the lift. Skied a second run over there around a closed area and cut back high in order to get some hard to reach smooth freshies under the lift for a couple hundred yards...was my personal X-ing coincidently next lift ride a large group probably from somewhere exotic like Iowa or Santa Ana tracked it all up. Was probably a bump run by closing. Back to the front and I took a circuitous route to the right below the east wall to get some untracked and the woods the last couple hundred vert above the mid mountain lodge were all nice but popular as well and pee breaks easily inturupted. Skied to base again not much fresh on lower mountain got all skied up went back up the quad to mid mountain lodge. Had bacon Bloody Mary and talked to lady who works for Southwest Airlines and couple from Chicago who have season pass. None of them even left the lower mountain yet that’s why the limited runs down there were all tracked out. Had an IPA and soft pretzel drinks were cheap pretzel with cheese sauce was like $4.50. Pretty much dried out now it was snowing even harder. Free refills kind of conditions and not many people skiing Lenawee lift so that was the play. Had to get the new snow and blow over along snowfence that I skied first run my kind of spine..had to do that again then skied some woods..got soaked again and practically skied to my car.

gonna be DEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Five minutes till liftoff.

you missed it. Flurried like a motherfucker.

Went to Einstein bagels got avacado toast on poppy bagel and Jalepeano cheddar bagel. Snowing in Silverthorne big fat flakes. Looks like the next three days will be pow days.

Hunter got himself in trouble at school so I may just have to find a way to get there by myself....lol I'm looking forward to some of this.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sometimes things can be so bad it’s awesome. Like watching a mystery science theater 3k movie. Full on winter after a rain (low 20s and super windy). Made lemonade today. Skiing was “interesting” but man I had fun. Sipping on some Lawson’s now. Gonna meet #1 at prohibition pig soon for dinner. Got a voucher to smuggle and sugarbush. Game day call tomorrow. Then meeting indiggio and bumpers for bump fest at bear for weekend. This don’t suck.

Mom's house; my place is considerably shabbier! Skied Okemo today. Good conditions all things considered. Firm, definitely, with icy patches, but still really fun.

Solid trip so far! Get turnt! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When you get home from work and you’re hoping your new skis get here before your wife does . . .

Snowing a lot more than the predicted amount this afternoon.

The last run off Lenawee so much untracked.

Where I am now ready for another safety meeting.

Don't even care. What ever is open will I will be skiing Except for lower sidewinder. Only @indiggioand @Shadows ski that run.

So flat.

I’ll defer to indiggio for the bmmc report. He needs something to do as he wanders around the house at 4 AM

Heady, focal banger, frost farmhouse and a German brew

Nobody here is participating in the pond skimming. I'd rather have 40ish and sunny. Great winter, but a let down on spring mashed potatoes days.

I'll be there. Guess I'll need a little whiskey to keep me warm.

Where? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is so cool! Here is Enjorales's 108, definitely in time for spring, so wide and slush-worthy. Here is my 84, so easy to put on edge and so blue to match BM's colors. And meh, there is also neither this nor that red 88 of Root's. Like Head felt that they needed to fill the void in between and come up with something.

Hunter got himself in trouble at school and Mom punished him from all activities....Sunday might be in jeopardy for me.....ugh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This place would make you cream your pants. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will be there Sunday. Final sausage Sunday of the season! Shame a lot of regulars will be missing.

He's actually next in line if somebody were to resign their position. Our group of moderators and administrators were actually considering him for the Statistics Manager position, since we do not currently have that.

This was such a good thread started by yours truly.
