Mr.E Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Yup, if I'm not chasing the gang around, I'm usually just lapping 3 to try to work on technique. The run to lift line ratio is good for me. Unless it's empty and blue bird. If anyone is headed up mid week (ever) feel free to ping. I try to get a floating day in W/Th/Fri depending on my schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnE Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 What is the lodge situation? Does anyone go in there at all? Can't eat. So maybe just go in to change in/out and out to the lifts or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.E Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 It's been pretty ok lately, but I imagine after this weeks snow it'll be more crowded thany typical, and if it's single digits tomorrow I wouldn't mind staying below the wind. As of mid week at least, Switchback off 3 was open top to bottom (they were not yet forcing you to dump onto Boomerang). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted December 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) I have been museless lately, and disjointed. 2020 sucks I started this ride report back on thanksgiving day, but never finished it. I am so thankful for the regular crew of rippers that I get to ride with every weekend, as well as the occasional guests that show up from such exotic locals as Canukistan, Australia, ohio, Sweden, as well as a Masshole or other eastcoaster(heres lookin at you JD!) stopping by our little cold and windy ski area. Thanks to all of you for being part of the LCI Hopped on the lift 3 this am with Ice,aka Mr positve with temps at a balmy -7f (-21 for you wayward canucks reading this). We started over at the valley to get away from the madness at the basin. Tough way to start the day, neither Kevin or myself managed to get comfrotable with the cold, , the lift stoppage, and the minimal terrain. Called it early once my sissy ass caught a chill I couldnt shake. I am thankful for any turn i get in in 2020. Made a run with Mr. E, saw dustin and shelly on the lift, and heard a rumor that Lance and Fam where over at the basin. We reallly need some more snow at this point, but with patiance, good runs could be had. Snow was really good..

Mr.E Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I only took a few after you guys called it. I got frost nip on my toes the first Sunday out, and it's been watching them on days in the single digits. Good snow, but brrrrrr. Hoping tomorrow is a little less "intense". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.E Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 I'm seeing gusts at 30-40mph. What weather predictor are you using? Between the wind and the fist holiday weekend, I'm tempted to pass as I don't want to spend 6hrs in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colozeus Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 We were at A basin for most of the day today. It wasn't too windy, but i remember some very windy days at loveland last season and the one before. Perhaps i'll come ride with you guys next time i come out. I hope you are all doing well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
