slopestar Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Gusty but not too bad. Fun morning with katie and Julia. Kevin and Mario joined in although Mario had some sock issues going on. Dennis joined the mix and we all had some fun runs amidst the gaper patrol... Friday? Sunday? Let’s hope it’s not too frigid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvin' Marvin Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Just looking ahead I'm planning on Loveland for 1/3 and 1/17. I know its a ways out, but I'd like to see as many of you as possible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnE Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 How are conditions lately? Snow, crowds? Improving, staying the same or getting worse? Are many going up during the week this week or next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said my Coilers are giving me accusatory looks. I might have to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.E Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I just assume that I'm going to have a 20-40min delay, and try to be pleasently supprised if it does't happen. I haven't been up for a few days (maybe tomorrow?), but last I was up coverage was good, but terrain limited. I know they have opened a bit more since then, but it's still limited. That said, it's been good/ firm conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the weather and impending Christmas will suppress the number of patrons but it probably will mean nothing. Anyway don't take this as me saying I'll be there. These days I'm less reliable than a McDonalds Ice cream machine... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 If I do head up, maybe I'll bring the SL board (just in case). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days I'm less reliable than a McDonalds Ice cream machine... it was a lot full of rentals and cars and trucks from states all over . Gaper Skier level was off the charts... coupled with racers too. Julia and I did 4 fast fun ones on the Alloy’s and high tailed it ahead of the construction. We skated past Idaho springs. Westbound was crawling from the top of Floyd hill at 10:30 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRAZZ Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Oof! Do I want to drive 2 hours each way for 4 runs...? Gawd I hate 2020. Glad you made it up there tho! EDIT: Well that plan didn't last long. Work had to intrude. Why the hell would you schedule a meeting (an important one, no less) the day before Christmas?!? Gawddamn grinches! I guess I'm back to planning on Friday. Told you I was unreliable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRAZZ Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 I finally made it up there! And meh... I seem to be inflicted with the same meh that's going around. Met up with the Slopestars and took a couple of runs with Katie and Julia, then did another run with Lance. The snow was excellent and the mountain was really empty for the first hour. The problem is me. Just not feeling this season yet. Honestly I'm enjoying softboots much more. I hope to end this curded year, put it back where it belongs and start enjoying 2021! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a very good new year to you all. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.E Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I'm probably out through the holiday. Plenty of good days without fighting for space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I think we are sitting it out as well...we had fun yesterday and it wasn’t too busy. The cold weather is just a little less fun... chair 3 looked stellar and empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRAZZ Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I'm tempted to go up tomorrow. I figure it's going to be a zoo anyway so if I can get in 2-3 runs it's a win. Besides, I could always relocate to the lift 3 lot and get some more runs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 We are going tomorrow and will run a few on chets and Ptarmigan and then head down to 3 just the kids and I. Katie has to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thursday was fun but got crowded. We ran Ptarmigan and then went down to 3. It was good but the gaper gap was large and plentiful. kids have gone back to da beach, so it will be Katie and I tomorrow.not sure if we are bringing the Camper. Hope to see you misfits up there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
