Yeah, wasn't arc to arc, it was arc to drift to arc = )I think “really fast” was theme of the day. Making arcing turns from cream into funk didn’t produce spectacular results

Great skiing with you Anthony!At least they remembered to put numbers on it, unlike A-basin!
@Ken_R it looks a lot like the old spot in the trees near the top of the Eagle. Presumably, they moved it to the bar for the lift construction.
Classic Copper picture from Saturday:

And a few pics from a mogul comp on Rossie's Run that I enjoyed watching for a bit. It was fun to see the kids getting after it!

Note the Ikonic line at the Super Bee ^^^. It was 11 am on a sunny Saturday before the Super Bowl, so hoping it was just a fluke.
Really pretty inverted. Wish I'd taken it from up above like the prior shot.

Then had some fun runs with @UGASkiDawg but no pics as I was just trying to keep up!
We weren’t finding much consistent at A-Basin with heavy wind scouring and a lack of good deposits...

...so we headed over the pass where I’d feared Luv was overly scoured. Fortunately, my fears weren’t founded. Scoured, but with good deposits.

9 was actually running in the high wind today and Castle Rock and the south side of Primer had been looking good yesterday before the wind hold. Seen here as typically heavily tracked

Deposits. With some patches down lower to straighten out those arcs.

But not enough to stop some lapping.

Or, I could ski local tomorrow..........
I got within 15 miles of my hotel in Glenwood springs this afternoon and found out I70 was closed until tomorrow due to the rock slide. I then started up 131 Northbound for a 4.5 hour detour. About an hour in I got to high enough elevation that the roads turned into a skating rink and traffic was crawling at 20 mph which could have made it a 10 hour trip at that pace. After 2 cars in front of me went into the ditch, I decided to turn around while there was still sunlight and avoid the inevitable shit-show. I'm super bummed as this was probably my last storm of this trip and radar and the webcam shows Sunlight getting hammered while Loveland doesn't show a speck. 5 hrs of driving and only 15 miles from my destination but it just wasn't meant to be. I don't regret the decision to turn back as I have a feeling it would have been a nightmare once the sun set, the temps dropped and it started dumping. Oh well, I'll just have to partake of whatever Loveland serves up the next few days which should still be fun.
Check that. The chase is on! Already at Silverthorne as the roads have been clear and traffic is moving at 70. We'll see how backed up it is when I get near Glenwood Canyon. 1 lane is open.
Imade it to Glenwood Springs. What a beautiful canyon (I need to come back in the Summer and paddle it) and I didn't see any rock debris so they did a great job last night!
What a difference a pass makes. Driving thru Summit County there was blue skies and zero snow until I got on the backside of Vail pass. Vail was getting hammered and it hasn't stopped snowing the rest of the way. Possibly another 8" today on top of the 11" at Sunlight so should be a couple good days!
Yesterday was phenomenal and looking forward to today, if I can stay warm.View attachment 65013
so the good news is there's 4" from overnight with about 15" since yesterday... the bad news is its -13* with 15 mph avg winds right now. Hoping to go up today and make some powder turns with @Jwrags
