I just hope they keep Nigel and Parker apart.
I have had to tend to a mouthful of Porky, and it’s not much fun for either the dog or the human. I am sure @Drahtguy Kevin has had similar experiences.

Set night was the first A-Basin Moonlight Dinner of the season. As always, first and last of these dinners are not lift served so you skin or snowshoe up to BML.
Perfect opportunity to try out my new setup with Shifts. Some pregame turns and good thing, because I’d forgotten to detune the new set of M5s and would have died on the way down.
The bindings are awesome. Easy to use and the 10° riser was right on for straight up Sundance. Just a super light alpine binding with a low stack height for the descent.
A nice workout to BML.
Our usual table...
We supply the lights.
The food is always off the charts. Spain was the theme this time. The paella - a small sampling of the available dishes.
And down after way too much food.
The hunt for pow turns became pow plow on the flats.
One of the best nights of the year.

First WRF models are showing very big totals for Thursday into Friday. Well over a foot. Friday should be a great storm skiing day.
Where?
Looks like Steamboat, some areas of Summit, and the Aspen area. This model tends to be bullish, but its been proven right the last few storms...
Right 
I’ll be studying for my last final of the semester which is Saturday morning but expect to be at Copper Sunday if anyone is around with a very slim chance for making the last hour of the day on Saturday.

I think the Texas (#4) transplants wanted to narrow the gap between the states a bit.
2nd day at Loveland yesterday ~~
No hand warmers
No toe warmers
No neck gaiter
Remembered socks at the last minute
And the best part ... looking up and thinking "why am I in this tunnel"? Yep, drove past the exit
With the organizational problems out of the way, I should be set for the season.
I have used the Restroom and Lockers area across from the Sports Shop for booting up and stashing my bag. Is there a better place for that?

LL is pretty chill about where you stick stuff. You'll notice a lot of bags and other gear just shoved along the windows in the main upper lodge area. I have also just left my stuff sitting there and haven't had any problems so far.

Same here. Doing it that way right now as a matter of fact. Also, the vegetable soup and Frito Pie in Ptarmigan Hut are on point today.

Winter storm watch till Sunday
Hopefully the road will remain open but you know how that can go. Right now the forecast is 12-24" I think the heavier snow is forecasted for the other side of Vail Pass.
I dunno about that. Most of the Aholes drivers i see in Colorado, especially on I-70, are young natives, not transplants. Nice try on the deflection attempt though.
