Guest Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm going to say Snowmass is probably your best bet. Jim and I were going to go up this morning and decided not to. Coverage is slim, but I think that's the best option. Aspen would be choice two. Jim and I should be up for riding in the morning on Saturday too, so give us a call!

big mario Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Excellent, sounds like snowmass is the place, I will have P drop me off at the mall. I will give you a yell as we are leaving the Smithy in Carbondale mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give you a yell as we are leaving the Smithy in Carbondalemario What is P going to do for the day? If she's going into Aspen than that plan makes sense; otherwise we could look at carpooling from Basalt in the morning, if she was planning to stay downvalley while you ride. If I guess right though, I suspect she'll be doing some shopping in Aspen :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Don't know for sure, she might head back to Glenwood for the vapor caves, or possibly shop. As with every thing, it may be a game time decision mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softbootsurfer Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 These Temps and Lack of Snow conditions are very similar to the 76 -77 Season where it was mid January before conditions were viable enough to not ruin your equipment on the exposed Rocks... heads up to anyone planning on spending the funds to come to Aspen/Snowmass until there is a turn in the current weather patterns... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 These Temps and Lack of Snow conditions are very similar to the 76 -77 Season where it was mid January before conditions were viable enough to not ruin your equipment on the exposed Rocks... heads up to anyone planning on spending the funds to come to Aspen/Snowmass until there is a turn in the current weather patterns... :( Jim and I will second that. Went to snowmass yesterday and any semblance of decent conditions that were left were obliterated by the high winds on New Year's Eve (reported 85 mph gusts at Ajax!). It is scrubbed down to the boiler plate with exposed rocks and debris from the wind all over the trail. It took Jim and I about 35 minutes to do one run from the top of Snowmass back down because we were going so slow (and side slipping, not a turn to be had), and Jim dinged up the edge of his board, so it is at the tune shop for repairs. I might pull out the road bike again until it dumps some more snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I might pull out the road bike again until it dumps some more snow! Ugh... hope it dumps by SES (but not during SES). I want to ride something other than my VSR 170 a.k.a. "involuntary rock board". (yeah, our season has pretty much gone the same way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Still, even after the last storm, more snow is sure needed. Buttermilk crew says they cannot groom as they are used to because of not enough base yet. None the less, they will do their best for the World Carving Session & SES... Good thing Ajax is prime!!!
