Snowing just a skiff but the mountains are obscured. I don’t know if this is the buoy pop I was hoping for but nice to see snow in the air down in Silverthorne its warm feels like 35 so likely 20s and raw in the hills.

Make sure wallyworld is open...I’d rather ski sugarbush late season than killington snowball to spring fling is a great wide open north facing spring run.

The views here are far superior than to JH..hard to top the grand Tetons but here so many ranges and peaks

Needs window washing services.

Awesome pictures thanks for taking this thread up to the next level...I actually skied a little wintry snow was more like styrofoam which I like. I just think Monday was exceptionally sunny and warm I know I went without shades for a few minutes at rental car place and my future didn’t look so bright.

Some of the stuff he’s talking about I’ve skied..some I would only ski with a guide and in deep stable snowpack which is similar to what we have now although any load of new snow and some winds and there could be slab avalanches. The base is locked solid though. Wet slides are scary Ive experienced them. Might get warm enough for them this weekend.

Eaf I smoke the real stuff yes it’s called flower and it’s cheaper to buy 3.5grapes in a dispensary in Idaho falls than 2 grapes at same store..and they have flat screen monitors and all that. Real modern except my hotel room at the days in. Vaulted ceiling is great I wish I had a basketball hoop. Could practice my free throws.

Ok cool looks like great weather Saturday. Love that high sun angle.

April 16 2019 Day 1 of 6. Hey All, I’m back from a fun day at Abasin. Arrived at the Early riser lot around 910am and it was super empty I parked in about the 8th row. Getting ticket from barcode on my phone was easy peazy skiing and Bloody Mary for $69. I was on the Black mountain express by about 930..and first skied Sundance which is actually a green as a warmup because it had a ton more fresh cord than the adjacent blue and I wanted to ski a quick run before the two lift slog to the top..skied Powerline which is one of my favorites twice..was nice cord very grippy as I said earlier 8 out of 10 east coast cord. Made my way over the the new beavers lift and skied the far left blue trail that had a warning that said this is their steepest blue..wow visions of Hunter North were in my brain for good reason as I had read that some lower internediates were getting in over their head in the new steep terrain. The snow off trail was rough so only went in the woods to make yellow snow and be safe. After I exited the woods there was a lady skier real solid probably like a type 3 minus and a guy skiing with her all over the place. I decided to give them a little time to get going more so I would have a clear run. Well I caught up to them alright the guy had slid almost in the woods and both skis were on and I handed him a poll..the bottom half of that run was stair step terrain and steep with a big Whoa Zone type fence so people have to go through the narrow center. I’m sure there are enough bloopers on that area to make an episode of America’s funniest home videos. By the time I was back on the new Beavers lift I was sweating woo..didn’t really cool off till near the top when it was windy and cloudy. Then skied powerline down to the mid mountain lodge. Had a Bloody Mary and $1 coors light 8 ounce can then had an ipa and soft pretzel. Pretzel was good I didn’t have much food earlier free breakfast at days inn does have hard boiled eggs which I like with some @saltyant high sodium day..cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Ended up talking to guy sitting next next to me at bar when I had like half my beer left I said I was gonna take a safety break and he said he’d show me a smoke shack. I didn’t go inside the shack but others were posted up in there..I was warned of traverse by a South Carolina raised snowboarder it was not much maybe 8 whoopdees..then I did three runs with snowboarder..it was the best conditions and light of the day and I really just stuck to the fall line on a combination of groomed and ungroomed also amazing skiing some nice lines that were solid 3 hours earlier. Peaced out of Abasin around 112 stopped at the Noodles and company and they’re closed for renovation so went to cheeba hunt got French dip sandwich and Arnold Palmer. Everything is weed themed in there sizes of sandwiches are Nug, Pinner and Blunt. Sandwich ok Quiznos level if Ski2Live knew what I paid for it he’d probably say a fool and his money. It was a fun day a bit of commaraderie in row 8 at Abasin..was able to ski back to within 8 cars of my rental. The picture of the snowboarder is during about a three run window whe. The snow was just perfect and the light was as well then light got flat..

I thought you were more of a Loveland Guy. The conditions you mentioned aren’t at all what it was like today. I did see a few hiking to North Pole...my favorite snow was in the gully’s off Lenawee was Corning up after about noon..most of the new beaver terrain hadn’t softened yet when I was over there. Fun low key day at Abasin. More pictures and report later. I think I’m hitting up Loveland tomorrow could be a couple inches new.

Hahaha yeah well I removed most of the salt. Just ate like 7 weed gummies. Report to come soon. Getting settled in.

Thanks and I finally had a beer. Local IPA has some earth tones and notes of cerebral intensity.

Smoke shack and my new riding buddy Eric from Charlestown SC at the bottom of I believe dragon. In the woods now taking a piss. Winding down. The light got really flat.

Bottom of beavers is steel. Skied powerline in nice cord a second time.

Did five runs so far. Taking a safety break in the woods in the Beavers area. Pretty low key uncrowded day. Groomers are 8 out of 10 eastern groomers..firm and fast..off trail is ok for small sections like to get stoned and piss not good for full runs. I think the breaks of sun will corn up the groomers off trail I don’t know how well the sun will penetrate the bulletproof.

Getting ticket no hurry but people are selling tickets 5 feet from window. Adult ticket for $60 I paid $69 no biggie.

Had the free breakfast...hard boiled egg and danish coffee and OJ..kind of tired gonna lay in bed another 15 minutes than get suited up and drive to Abasin should be on the snow about 9ish..sunny now 37 degrees in Silverthorne probably mid 20s on the mountain so I’m hopeful for some corn late morning..looking forward to checking out the new beavers lift.

Let’s tenatively plan on Friday..we can go over details Thursday.

Not in beer drinking mood...grilled cheese with bacon onion red peppers avacado spread.

Walk to Bakers brewery. Having a double jack and coke and ordered grilled cheese with bacon and tomato soup.

Is there a particular day you wanna ski WP? My mom told my boulder aunt I’m here and she wants me to visit as well. The one year I met a girl from the internet in boulder who was from Allentown area originally and thought I was gonna run into you and my aunt and uncle and chippy. @jordan are you around?

Just purchased lift ticket for Abasin along with a voucher for a bacon Bloody Mary for $69.99..they’re still charging full price at the window so I figured I’d buy online and save a few dollars and PSUFlyGuy is right $85 lift tickets at copper..I wanna leave Wednesday and Thursday up in the air because of possible snow.

This is my view from my room.

Yeah I heard they’ve gotten the production costs rediculously low and supply is stupid high.
