Never mind that last request. Just saw that Steamboat opened the Pony Express lift today.

Colorado Steamboat Meet-up 2017/18
Thanks to Ron for meeting up today on the mountain. Didn’t expect all that fresh powder! Mike enjoyed it and after ignoring the bumps like you recommended I had fun skiing the powder too! Tomahawk was a treat gliding through the fresh snow.

OK so who will be skiing Sunday? I will be up there for sure.

Good job! You just ski like they aren't there.

They aren’t.
Or are they?
What is reality anyway?
in this context, push piles of fresh powder are widely not there
people make too much of them.
It works the other way too.
I am going to pretend we have a foot of fresh today.

duh ... Superbowl!
Nice thing is Sunday, crowds clear out early for prebowl parties and if I recall correctly, 2pm on is pretty free sailing. Still plenty of time to prebowl unless staking out a table at a local watering hole. We've still been lucky getting a table pretty late ... 3:30?? can't really recall but did the SB weekend for years.
Wife and daugthers would hit Diva's for their superbowl special, Christy Sports picked it up after Diva's closed. Promote it as a women's Superbowl party with pre kickoff at 3:30, some snacks and such but they have a halftime total scores discount (eg: 14 to 14 yields a 28% discount) and then second half is winning score ...
Girls always would pick up something such as gloves or goggles with the discount and enjoy some basic snacks ...

Anyone be skiing this weekend? @coskigirl and I will be up making some turns.
You can do it! Skinning is just walking with skis on. Just keep moving one foot in front of the other and as long as you don’t go to steep or to fast you will get there eventually.
Have you even been in the mountains with a guide? Total tortoise and hare thing. they don’t hike/skin fast, but they just keep going at a steady pace, and pass the speeders at every turn.
Unfortunately, the route up at Steamboat is fairly steep. There is another route up but it is really long. I haven't been with a guide and this is only my second time ever skinning. So much easier to get it together when you're sleeping 5 minutes from the mountain instead of a couple of hours.
What I meant about guides, is that they always seem to move SO slowly, yet they get a lot done, by not doing anything extraneous or stopping to much.
Yeah, if you can’t pick your own route, it makes it harder to keep from blowing up, but still, pick a relaxed speed, then slow down another 15%, good luck!
Thanks! It will be slow but I'm doing it for both the exercise and just enjoying the peace of the early morning. After years of being the slow runner I've gotten over the ego blow of being the slow one.
