I skiied loveland this mornning it was great lots of snow only chair 9 is yet to open. Snow coverage is the best out of open colorado resorts.

I'll be at Loveland next Saturday, but I'm heading to Copper tomorrow. Hopefully the coverage is good enough.

Still skiing knee-to-waist deep in the 'backcounty' around here. A rareity this early and for MI.

we had some freezing rain and then 2 " of fluff on top of glazed rocks

Currently it is snowing here. We have about 4 inches give or take here at my house from the past week or so. It is still coming down.

Snowmass is planning on opening Alpine Springs, and Elk Camp this weekend. We got 18inchs of snow overnight. (5inchs from about noon til closing).

Some of the runs off Sams Knob lift opened today also.

Any idea when the new Sheer Bliss chair will open or is it open already?

I would assume when Alpine Springs Opens.

I'm not sure if they have built the ramps yet on it or not. If I'm off on Thursday I will ski the burn and get some pics of the top terminal. I hear the Top shack is really nice.

Nice, I thought we were lucky getting the 70+/-" so far this season. It Didn't snow today for the first time in 12-13+ days. And even some rain is expected this weekend as a storm moves to the west. My Scottdale's done his fair share of plowing work already this year. We were on the same pace in '06, when just before X-mas it went to 40+ for a month straight. Hello, Wood; Knock Knock, let's stay cold. There isn't much like stepping off the groomed packed and dropping in deep, at least in Dec.

Grouse is rumoured to open tomorrow, and Cypress probably will. It is snowing in Vancouver now.

Sheer Bliss may be turning tomorrow for public. :)

What did you guys end up with last night?? We got 45cms out of that storm!

Knee deep last night when I left bar at the area. We had a very soft opening on Friday with just the beginner chair on man-made. At least the wheels are turning now.

Sheer Bliss opened for public tranport for 15 mins then closed for the day due to high winds.

At the Top of the VX we had winds up to 65mph. Lift was dialed down to about 100fpm at one point for a few mins. It's Dumping up there right now. :)

Humbug! Winter cramps my style.

Cool!!! cook BBQ outside!!! it looks like fun

In the light of day, however, the season seems friendlier.
Granddaughter Keisha persuaded me to help with a snowman.

Full story in my blog. Film at eleven.
