Word. Had definitely planned on it... the wind has been crazy so I was waiting for a good day. The sun started coming out about 12 and the wind really died down so hopefully tomorrow!

I got stuck waiting for the Eisenhower on my way home from Abay yesterday. The way it was snowing made it look like fucking January here.

so stoked.

Yes! Not a ton, because unfortunately there's a lot of patrollers during pre-season. The conditions were FANTASTIC. The new lift moves the line a TON faster than last year and it actually hasn't been too busy, probably because Loveland pass has been closed because of the snow. It's actually one trail... they say two because of the "terrain park", which is currently only a half set-up box and an urban rail because of all the snow. The run directly under the lift is very steep with small cliff drops and pillows... it's not open yet but I'm debating taking a run with my pow skis if it gets filmed. EPIC.

I'm not sure when they are going to open more terrain...

Off topic, but last night Breckenridge groomed the entire resort (three days ago there was less than an inch on the peaks). Rumor has it they plan to have the entire resort open for opening day.

Totally variable.  Some are still calling this year a "la nada".  So who knows, I mean it IS the weather...  If it snows it snows otherwise we always find a way to make due.

For anyone who wants a taste of the pow this season and needs help planning a trip, etc... get at me. Everyone should get to wake up to this once in their life.
