Almost didn't recognize Dan without his signature orange sweatshirt.

That Lake Tahoe shot is beautiful

Very nice pics!

^ looks like he bedazzled his car.

This was awesome! Calves are definitely going to be sore tomorrow.

Yes we could really use some snow to freshen things up.

nice!

*edit... I took a deep breath, I'm over it.

My son texted me these pics from Abasin with his DAD. [emoji848] of course

Nice report. I have fond memories of Stratton.

Thanks guys

I asked the kids for weeks to go on a ski weekend with me away from I-70. At the last minute they finally gave me a solid no. It's kind of a sad day as a parent when the reality sets in that your kids are too old to want to spend time with you (unless they want money). They would do a weekend like that with their dad, but teenage boy don't mix with their moms I guess. Anyway I decided to try Monarch Mountain. All the schools had off today and I knew I-70 would be a shitshow with long lines everywhere. Lift tickets are normally $74 but if you have a season pass to another CO resort they are $40, score! It is a small mountain with 5 fixed grip lifts, mostly doubles. They have all natural snow, no guns. The last storm cycle was almost 2 weeks ago so the snow was pretty hard pack but the grooming was nice. Felt a bit like I was at Eldora just doing laps. But the scenery was great, nice views from te top of each lift. I got a solid 3 hours in with no breaks before the crowds started filling in. The place has a real nice vibe. All the employees were incredibly friendly from the parking attendants to the liftees. There is a double black bowl that I hear is fun but I am definitely not at that level. Overall a fun day, bluebird skies. Can't ask for more.

Toast while you are there please install Tapatalk on Doug's phone so I don't have to click on thumbnails anymore. Much appreciated.

yesterday was fantastic. Bluebird day, great snow and pretty warm mid 30's. Prior to that I had not been on skis in a month. Not sure why, lots of hiking and family obligations I guess.

Pictures from the shore look terrible, so much flooding. I am soooooo happy I sold my place in Sea Isle last summer.

I know a place you can stay

Jeesh quit being so hard on yourself PC.

^yes you did inherit a souvenir .

So the Austrailian Olympic Team is staying at our place in Winter Park. They just got word the World Cup in Lake Placid is cancelled so they asked to stay longer. Good for me, bad for them. Guess the whole East is in rough shape.

Guess you have the Epic Pass. Was Breck super busy being week after Christmas? Been pretty damn cold in Boulder as well.

^WAY

Mountains got 8" in last 24 hours and more on the way. My place in WP is rented but I am getting a bit bored with Eldora so left Boulder at 6:30 to come up to WP. Was in line before opening at 9. Heavy crowds but lift lines not terrible. First run ended up on a bumped up tree run. That took me a while (something to work on). Taking a break for lunch. Legs are tired! Guy parked like a dick

Yes I do but I have been on that canyon road in bad conditions before and it gets sketchy. Sliding into the creek is a real possibility. gonna wait a few hours.

Hmmm while checking road conditions I see a snow plow slid off the road into the creek (the road to Eldora). Think I am going to wait to see how things are a little later.
