phillycore Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm definitely not out to be one of the quickest skiers on this site that's for sure. The older I get the slower my body wants me to go. I'm probably the slowest of our crew now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Judging by the lack of posts I'm guessing their flight left on time...the boys are probably landing any minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the problem it's not even noon and you're in Colorado!!! Go easy on the edibles...if its your first time I suggest just half a cookie.

Zonked Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Steamboat needs a ton of snow. I was there Friday-Monday. It was warmer in the mountains than home in Philadelphia. Can't complain though, still enjoyed every minute of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justo8484 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 70 Is closed....Berthoud it isbest of luck. If I can offer a word of wisdom for navigating sketchy mountain passes in a snow storm in a vehicle you're not familiar with, drive slower than you're normally comfortable with. You'll still get where you need to go. Not totally knowing how a car's AWD system is going to react if/when it slips is the worst to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
