Let me wet your appetite while I sort through the footage .... here is a view of what we skied first run (off the heli). Most of those tracks were from other heli drops after us throughout the day. They're very adamant about stacked turns down the fall line, keeping it tight to other tracks.

We’re back. Amazing day. Insanely good skiing. I need to drink some champagne first, and then pictured and videos will be posted.

Looking like a perfect day for Silverton tomorrow, and then more snow through Tuesday. Some forecasts show up to 40” by Tuesday.

Here is a picture of @NMSKI from this morning at 11:15am. Not a lift line in sight, either.

Yup. Only $79/night.

@GSSucks that was intentional ... apparently they fit better in his bag better.

Beautiful short day out there on the hill. Some awesome groomers before picking up the boys. A dusting of snow fell over night making things even nicer. Had the MX98s out today which crush groomers and put a smile on my face 😍

I'm going to ski for a little this AM, head to Montrose early to get a run in on dry ground / lower elevation, and then pick up the boys. I wonder if they'll need a road soda?

Yup. It was over 500 at one point. Just kept telling myself “you just have to drive from home to North Carolina”

Awesome day boys! Looks amazing out there. @toast21602 my former coworker Brad was also there today.

A beautiful day here in Telluride. I love the lack of rush. Skied right from the house a little after 9 and we were on our way. Sun was out, snow was great, and gave @skiincy a tour of Telluride in the morning. Quick stop back at the house to get my pack and grab something to eat, as I wanted to hike Bald Mtn in advance of @NMSKI and @Johnny Law’s arrival to check out conditions. Hiked up Bald Mtn quickly, and enjoyed some deep and untracked, albeit heavy turns. Little too heavy for my liking. Skied directly to Gorrono Ranch where I assumed the position and got numb. @skiincy and @Barb arrived shortly there after. Going to ski for a few hours tomorrow AM and then go pick up the boys at MTJ. JADIP. @skiincy departing the accommodations in the AM Where I was going to get numb later.... Revelation Bowl shot of me The position...

I'm glad you like the HUD. It's really good for keeping you "heads up" while changing songs, looking at navigation directions, etc. Sorry that this thread hasn't been up to your amazing report standards. I'll try to do better.

Good morning from Telluride! Looking to be a beautiful day here. It's not off to a bad start, either.

Great night with the ladies of PASR + @Barb’s friend. Hopefully @Barb forgives me for not mentioning her.

Woke up a beautiful morning in Denver after a great dinner and celebratory drinks with a college buddy who just had his first child and just landed a big new job. Went for a nice 8 mile run on the High Line Canal Trail. Hit the road around 9:15am enroute to Telluride. It was 50F when I left under sunny, albeit windy, skies. About an hour into the drive when I was on a plateau the crosswind was over 50mph, causing insane blowing snow that I was losing touch with the car that was pretty close in front of me. Luckily that only lasted for about 20 miles. I really enjoyed some of the sweeping passes on the way to Montrose 😀. Quick stop in Montrose for some food, and then hammered down to Telluride. Weather is beautiful here. Settled in, just waiting for @Barb to drop by in a few. Yes, @Barb. Don't want to be accused of leaving out @Barb. Also, @skiincy should be here in an hour or so.

Somewhere in CO. Had to get it out before I went for a run.

I stopped to pee 4 times, poop once, and fuel twice.

After 12hr 15min of elapsed time I made it from St Louis to Denver covering 835miles in the process. Beautiful afternoon here. Went for a quick 4 mile run now getting boozed up at a friends house. @GrilledSteezeSandwich knows him.

Nah I had the cruise at 82. I covered 164 miles in two hours at one point. Not a single slow down 😂

Feels good to see the sign. About 150 more miles to Denver. Should be under 2 hours at this pace.

Car is doing all the driving. Really makes these long days easy. Catching up on a lot of YouTube.

OMG you’re amazing.

Haters gunna hate.

Snowboarders suck.

Sorry @Barb it was a long day. I’m already passed the halfway point of today’s drive, both in time and distances. 400 miles left to Denver, and ~5h45m remaining. I’ve been driving through a snow storm for the last 100+ miles but it was mostly blowing across the road and could still keep speeds up around 75-80. Clear of the weather now with the hammer down.
