Nice.
But for the life of me I can't figure out where those trees are.
They are a nice stash and at a grade that facilitates linking turns. (As compared to Eagle Wind, which is fun but tiring and steep enough that it feels more disjointed, imo.)

that 959 went for $2.1 million
Looks like my pre-planned Wednesday ski day this week is going to miss out on the snow (as it starts late Wednesday). On the other hand, next Wednesday seems like it might work out just fine.
@Nick @SkaredShtles @stoney anyone game to join me next Wednesday eh?

Can't. Leaving for Bozeman/Bridger/Big Sky on Thursday...

don't need much power to spin up those 12"-wheel dualies!
you do with two sleds on the back at 8k elevation
(and not get run over by a cooper mini)
Might make a road trip south after Tuesday night rehearsal. Stay in Pueblo, drive another 3 hrs Wed morning, because:

Meet me there, @Pesqueeb ?

Good lord that's a lot of snow. Possibru?
updated forecast. (Sunday morning update is now showing 25” on Wednesday alone)
Skiing and travel on a 24” day may not be ideal.
@SkaredShtles can you expound on your “too much snow for Wolf Creek” bookface comment?

That does seem unwise.
If you're going to drive south to ski - go to Taos.
If you're going to drive to the RFV to ski - ski Ajax or Highlands. Snowmass is a good family mountain, and does have some fun, spicy stuff, but it is quite a bit behind both Ajax and Highlands in the fun-terrain department.
This ^^^. That much fresh on Ajax would be so so so good. Cold as fuck and storm conditions will make driving anywhere a shit show for a couple of days. You're already late.
Looks like it'll be a pretty easy trip to the RFV or Wolf Creek, according to that map. You should leave now.Per CDOT:
The "extreme impacts" purple south part of Mineral County would like to have a word with you
Pshhhhht - you'd be coming in from the easy (east) side... worst you'd have to deal with is about 10 miles of "extreme impacts." FTR, 160 almost NEVER closes from the east side. The west side is another story altogether...
Child's play...
Take the Cruiser.
Nice color combination. My bet is $150k in these insane times.
It's just too far away given my schedule constraints.
Copper it shall be. Nice intermediate grade trees so I can make yet another video of the same thing
edit: last update. Copper vs WP is a wash. Will Mary Jane it up unless my Copper-pass-only buddy is free tomorrow.

Come on, man... at least hit up Union, Spaulding, and Reso. If it's decent soft snow, the left edge of Cabin Chute is a hootenanny.It's just too far away given my schedule constraints.

Then go do a few laps on Black Bear, 17-Glade, and Freefall.
I'll explore a bit. Me being an old man and all, though, I like runs that don't make me ski all choppy.Come on, man... at least hit up Union, Spaulding, and Reso. If it's decent soft snow, the left edge of Cabin Chute is a hootenanny.

Eagle Wind == fun but I'm definitely choppy, for example.
The only one that might remind you of the "choppiness" of Eagle Wind would be 17-Glade. Depending on line choice, you can end up in some weirdly tight trees with large, stupid-shaped moguls.
Actually the bottom of Freefall might also remind you of that... although I *much* prefer Freefall to Eagle Wind's weird runs. The only one out there that I really like is just a wee bit skier's left of the lift line, then about 2/3 of the way down head actually *into* the lift line, then do the final weird double-fall line run under the lift to the bottom. That part hasn't been open the last couple times I headed out there.
Crashes more or less along my path described this morning:
I270 WB
I76 EB
I70 WB in the tunnel, twice
I70 EB between Frisco and Silverthorne, and at Havana
I70 WB at Vail and Silver Plume
Santa Fe SB
y'all get the point.
Wife had to head into downtown along US 6 this morning first thing. Said there was a brodozer jeep resting on its roof along the way.
As is tradition.
Bought in 2007 or 2008 for $46,520. Oh, plus the package price of $35,665.
Sold this week for $53,000. That's a return of 2.88% annually. Oh, negative 2.88% per year.
From Jan 2007 to Feb 2022 the DJIA did 7.128%. Positive, mind you. 7.638% if you start in Jan 2008, 11.34% if Dec 2008 picked.
