Pretty good coverage for closing day.  Did you ski any moguls off of lift one?

They look terrifying, so no. Locals say that the coverage is average, and whatever slow start they've had, it got compensated by the recent dumps

Terrifying wow. They’re pretty short maybe 7-800 vert 

But pretty steep too! They're like Razors, I think.

BTW, about slow lifts, the rumor is that Lift 1 is going to be replaced with a detachable HSQ next season.

Aspen by 6?

Yeah, two and a half hour drive, they say... I guess, I have another hour. But the snow turned into sticky mess already. Going down reminds me of that Forester with spontaneous and irregular downhill braking.

CVT snow sucks. But it’s still skiing!

Natural snow doesn’t hold up as well to warmth as manmade snow.  You’re gonna like ABasin next weekend. More steps than Loveland although I don’t know if the Pali lift and Montezuma lift will still be open. Only one lift at ABasin doesn’t have a safety bar.

Can you go trade that car in so you have one less thing to complain about?

Seriously who dafuk complains about a rental car...

Actually I almost scored an Outback. They somehow double-booked it, and the other dude got to it first. So, all this time I keep on wondering how Outback would be different. Adds bitterness into equation.

What rental car company?  I assume it’s a business expense?  I’ve rented from Alamo at the Denver airport 5 times before...always a pleasure dealing with them and I don’t say that about many businesses.  I think there’s so much competition among rental car company’s that they all have to be on their A game. If you’re at the Farmington airport in New Mexico you might get a Harrison Ford Escort when you booked a Chevy Traverse..

I drove the top of the line Impreza anniversary edition wagon a few weeks ago for a few hours when my car was being serviced and it was badass. I finally had a little clout in the wegmans parking lot amoung the MILFs who are now mostly younger than me.
