  1. looking good and this was cleared off in the evening. Could be a junksnow today.
  2. I was able to extend my stay at the Silver Inn until Tuesday night. The additional three nights were $282 including taxes. Just smoked half of a pre rolled J on the walk to Murphy’s. Prob get corned beef nachos again. I wonder if they re-upped on jack Daniels. They ran out after my first drink two days ago.
  3. Yeah it’s always worth it and easy travel. Jackson hole is easier travel but more weather issues. Jackson is going off right now. They are gonna close with 500” total and like a 140” base.
  4. I’d rather watch curling than ski wide slow turns..not that busy today.
  5. Bring the guitar and some Hebrew national all beef frankfurters and rolls and you’ll be a hero...maybe ILikeIceCream will come out of the woodwork.
  6. April snow is bonus snow to me. This thread is badass!!
  7. 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.
  8. Forecast from OpenSnow.com. Sunday could be the big pow day with 5-9” Saturday night. Could change over to rain on the mountain tomorrow. Today it stayed all snow but driving back into Silverthorne it changed over to light rain. Snow line is around the base of Keystone right now.
  9. Thank you. Snowing so hard. I’m soaked...except for my gloves they’re dry. Snowing is so wet it’s sticking to everything except cars in the parking lot.
  10. Razors looks sweeet. Hey it’s april and blue is gonna be open the next two days...Eaf if you’re at Blue Sunday have a mouthful of sausage in the lower lot!!!
  11. ABasin isn’t enough mountain for you. You’d be better off skiing Pikes peak. Earlier refreshment.
  12. 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.
  13. I’m gonna buy a two day ticket for A basin today. I think one day is around $95 and two day is around $150..lifts open there 9am Friday’s and 830am Saturday’s. I think today is gonna he a sleeper pow day/rider of the storm with only 2” so far and tomorrow will be a junk show with a lot of snow falling in the next 24 hours...
  14. I’ve seen butch lesbians that look like me..after I shave.
