Amazing pic's, unreal conditions for the time of year. I think spring is officially cancelled this year, we are closing all the Tahoe resorts with 100"+ bases and it's still snowing in this last week.

 

One of those pic's would have won the photo comp for me.

now i remember why i leave this site. suck a fuckin dick bitches

Dude, you lived in Colorado for what? 3 years?....and you don't have one person here who is enough of a friend to be willing to help you out? Maybe you're the problem...not everyone else? In those years you lived here, you never reached out to me once to go skiing. Now that you're back, you ask to stay in my house and for a ride up to summit county. I am sorry, but I am not letting a complete stranger stay in my house just because you happen to post on the same message board as me, especially with your weird track record around here. About a week later, I go up to summit to go skiing. I didn't know where I was going until the morning I left, and you don't even have a phone, so i couldn't call you. You then call me out on here for going up without giving you a ride...well sorry. It's really not my responsibility to get you up to summit county. If you honestly were not able to hitch-hike in that time frame, I don't know what to tell you. I hitch-hike and pick up hitch-hikers in CO all the time. Its not that hard. Get off your ass and try it. You then take another shot at me, because you are mad. Well, of course I am going to respond to it and defend myself. I guess I just can't fathom how you can be angry at a complete stranger....a person you have never met...for not going completely out of his way for you. Especially when that stranger is busy as fuck right now trying to finish a masters thesis.

Some odds and ends from the past few days:

 

Skywalker Couloir 6-15-11. This is on South Arapahoe Peak in the Indian Peaks Wilderness.

 

The entrance was approx 50-55 degrees (estimated because i didn't have an inclinometer with me)

Today, I did an early morning solo mission up to the Citadel, which is a very aesthetic mountain on the border of Dry Gulch and Herman Gulch near Loveland Pass. I have skied this mountain before, but never the North facing couloir, which I skied today.

 

The weather forecast called for partly sunny skies, but it was quite foggy.

when I dropped lower down into Herman gulch, the visibility improved, as the fog was only up high. This made for some cool shots.

In order to avoid hitch-hiking on I70 from the herman gulch trailhead to the dry gulch trailhead, I needed to climb back over a saddle to get back into dry gulch

Skiing out...I knew the forecast said partly sunny!

back out near the trailhead...the citadel is the pointy one in the distance.

After skiing the Citadel, I headed over to A-Basin to get a few lift served laps in

 

My friend Tyler, shralping some contraption in the park.

It turned into a nice day for a little while!

The Sleigh Baysin Infamous Pond Skim, i managed to get across it width-wise, but the snow was too slow to attempt length-wise

A thunderstorm rolled in later in the day closing the lifts down at 2pm. I saw a lightning flash while riding up the lift on my last lift ride of the day. It was quite scary to see that.

Thanks Sib' , lovely picture, can't wait for the (new)snow to return.

 

I'm camping near Squaw valley this coming weekend, it will be interesting to see how much snow is left in the higher elevations.

 

 

That looks like a nice area. Do you go see the Sequoia trees? That is definitely on my list of things to do. Do you camp in tents? Guess I am more of a plastic camper since I enjoy the comfort of my motorhome.
