Odd Job Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 How are the conditions at Beaver Creek? Small chance I'm considering going there on Sunday due to an errand I have to run near there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvin' Marvin Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Haven't been yet. So much more terrain open at Vail. Theres only a few groomed blues open and the red buffalo greens. Vail has the groomed blacks on 2 open 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Job Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Besides that weird bump run off Centennial with a lone rock I hit. Today was GREAT. First time in I've had my board knocked down by a ****ing moron though. Hope I gave them COVID with my maskless ways.

Carvin' Marvin Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 That post was a rollercoaster. Glad it was good. I tried to take some first chair runs on lower vail yesterday morning and called it after two runs due to iffy groom, lack of legs, and having to ride a board I didn’t want to be on. Did you yell at this person? Did it make you feel better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Job Posted February 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Nope. I just cursed at myself and walked really quickly through the town square wishing everyone else would get out of my way. Avon is like BreckenBrah with blood pressure medication. Pretty chill; I exuded all signals of a tech geek remote brah at Loaded Joe's. I would even consider moving to Avon if... it wasn't so warm.

Carvin' Marvin Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Hahaha that’s funny. Yeah when we moved from Summit to Eagle county we were like “oh yeah old people exist, that’s right”. Tons of crazy rich old people over here. I personally find the weather much more favorable year round over here but the riding season is definitely shorter and a basin is an hour away.

Kneel Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 This old guy will be in CO from 2/22 to 3/3. @Carvin' Marvin, you off to Mexico then? Thinking about wandering over from Summit to Eagle county to ride Vail or BC and could use a tour guide if you're not already tired of helping the elderly... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrowhead lift is a great easier carving area "easier". Probably like a medium to easier blue. Centennial lift has my favorite run. 1876 which is near the end; it is just... steep and wide. I'm not sure, but it's probably steeper than that little steep section somewhat near the end on Rosie's run at Copper. Where afterwards, things start funneling towards the next last pitch before the Superbee lift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do that weekend too but I’m not a big crowds guy. I’d love to show you around. Beav is better for really getting after it and Vail is a little more casual IMO. BC has more good groomed steeps like OJ mentioned. Vail holds softer snow better but also holds more people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as the LCI doesn't kill me on Sunday. Vail still crazy on a Monday? I'm in for either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 The LCI doesn't kill, it's the altitude. Seriously uplifting crew... It's just that pesky Oxygen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had a sublime time at Vail yesterday. Empty slopes and 9.5/10 carving snow. Can’t really go wrong with either. We can see how it shakes out. Vail has been really manageable this year. Not sure where those 50% more people that bought epic passes are. They don’t seem to be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvin' Marvin Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 The Beav is firing. Great early snow has made for some great coverage and awesome turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Job Posted December 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Looks like I might need to visit soon. Should I hesitate and use my really good rock board? By the way, Breckenridge has been heaven compared to the shitshow that is Copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Job Posted December 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Not kidding. But I've only been to Copper once this year. I'm also biased since I am a bus stop away from Peak 9. I heard Peak 10 just opened... hmmmm...... My favorite carving runs (steep pitch variety) are at Beaver Creek + Copper still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the ole GS days, before PGS, we raced down Cimarron to FlapJack. Dang that was a long course. ink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvin' Marvin Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 The dulce and gabana crowd are out in full force with their vile crotch goblins. Things are starting to get a little firm but hopefully this storm will freshen things up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitejumping Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Me enjoying some BC groomers the other day, with the big storm moving through might be a bit till its firm enough for my liking again. Grooming has been suspect but hopefully things get leveled out a bit better after the cats make more passes over all the new terrain they just opened.

Or should I bring my rock board that is still really really good? All I care about is good runs with a pitch, no rocks. Don't care if it's an ice skating rink.
