Snowing here

Procedure tomorrow, kind of nervous. Supposed to go ice climbing Saturday, hopefully I won't have to cancel.

BOA lacing is the only way to go. Wish ski boots were that easy.

Haha just saw your comment on FB TP4. They really banned you for that?

I know PC, you are awesome. Don't have to worry anymore since I am skier now

Great pics! Love the one of Dream Lake, that one took my breath away the first time I hiked it. Good for you for running at altitude! RMNP is beautiful, it's a great place to go in winter to hike when you want to avoid I-70. Looks like you had a great trip, except the shitty views you were forced to endure.

Toast, what were your impressions of Boulder and Estes? What did you do while you were here?

PASR's never wait for snowboarders to buckle. Psh

At Eldora now. One run frozen crud. Feels good to get the legs back but probably won't stay long. Looks like they should have more runs open by the weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hardly any snow up here, but still beautiful Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

wouldn't that get a little boring; 23 days on one run?

are you trying to jinx the snow, stop it!

Yesterday was 75 degrees

Heading to CB with my kids Sat-Tue and they don't open til Wednesday. Probably after Thanksgiving.

snowing here FINALLY!!!

Don't think so. There is really no down time. Everyone is different, they say you can have soreness for a day to a few weeks as the platelets increase inflamation before it subsides. I haven't skied yet since my back has been bad so not sure how I will feel. We really need some snow out here. It was almost 80 degrees today.

Just had my consult with the clinic. Good news is I do not need stem cell therapy. I am going to try platelet replacement, which is much cheaper. The place was great, they really helped me understand exactly what is wrong with my back. Procedure in 3 weeks and can take up to 4 to notice results. I am feeling very optmistic. The PT helped about 40%.

Don't miss it at all.

oh, then definitely check out RMNP. Estes is very nice.

When my husband went to rehab 4 years ago.

on weekends the garages fill up, especially with the CU game

Toast also worth mentioning that parking downtown is tough. Here is a website https://boulder.bcycle.com/ They have self pay stations all over town and you can rent a bike, and drop it off at another station. Also CU is playing home next Saturday. Traffic on the west side of town will be hell, all the more reason to bike. Where are you staying?

Weather has been unseasonably warm. We haven't even had our fist snow yet. That usually happens mid October. Mid 60's, sunny and T-shirt weather. I don't drink but there are plenty of breweries in Boulder; Fate, Walnut Brewery, World of Beer, Bohemian Biergarten off the top of my head. Brasserie Ten Ten is a great restaurant as is The Med, both on Walnut St (one st off Pearl St Mall). If you want gluten free options, Shine is very good and Zeal. Zeal on Pearl St, Shine on 13th between Pearl and Spruce (next to Bohemian Biergarten). The only good place for pizza in my opinion is Protos in North Boulder. Pizza is pretty bad here. Definitley check out Pearl St, hike around Chautauqua because it's so beautiful. Royal arch is a good ass burning hike starting from here. Another one is Mt. Sanitas, a quick 2.7 mi RT with 1281' elev gain. Happy to help with any other recommendations.

Loveland opening Thursday with one run. I may go next week, I think this weekend will be too busy. Been super warm here.
