Get on some wide skis and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through the mashed potatoes..in a typical warmer ski season you're gonna encounter spring conditions a lot so might as well work on your mashed potato skiing. Get forward and power through them.

Hasn't been above freezing in the mountains for a couple weeks.  Skied Vail on Xmas and then Breck on 12/27 & 28.  Surprisingly, snow was better at Breck.  Skied mainly Peak 10 on Sunday and then Peaks 6 & 7 on Monday.  Peak 6 had great snow and the steeps off of 7 were fun.  Heading to A-Basin on New Year's Eve and somewhere else on New Year's Day ... JADIP!

Looks like CB has been making snow... I need to find someplace with honest begginer terrain for my never-been-before nieces 02jan

Maybe big Boulder will get freedom open by then or they can just wait a week and ski school hill at blue.

Doesn't look good at camelback. Maybe hunter will have a bunny hill open by Saturday.

Makes sense as Breck is 1500 feet higher than Vail

True, but Vail got dumped on not long before we were there so I was hoping for better conditions.  That 1500 feet really only seems to matter late in the season for maintaining good conditions and avoiding the freeze-thaw cycle.  That wasn't the case last week.

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