Stick your finger down your throat and puke everywhere. You'll get sent home so you can ski endless pow

"Nuking" is the stupidest term ever to catch on for dumping snow.

You uhh.....you should look up what the word "ego" means. I don't have to fly anywhere. I'm in Denver. Soon to be Vail. Hater.

I know I'm in Denver at work and I can see the storm hovering over the Rockies...looks big and dark. It's already snowed over a foot in most places. And I can't get work off tomorrow, such a tragedy :(

Actual on snow update: Breck was fucking bottomless today, some of the lightest snow I've ever skied and about a foot and a half of it. Stick to e chair and south face of peak 10...bring a snorkel.

Ego: a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.

synonyms: self-esteem, self-importance, self-worth, self-respect, sense of personal identity

other words that could work: attitude, entitlement, pride, et. Al.

See you on the hill :). from your friendly neighborhood Denver resident.

I have to work Saturday and probably Sunday because of the damn superbowl. The only people who got it off are the 2 people that are actually going to NJ for the game.

My homepage is the snow report too, it is just taunting me.

what about tomorrow? if you have school, saying "fuck that" shouldn't be too hard. it's gonna be so good at Vail tomorrow. The snowstake is insane right now! and this is on top of the 5 inches reported at 5am (which all feel from 3am-5am).

I was going to make a joke about you just being mad cuz you float so easily and never need a snorkel but someone else already degraded you (took it a little too far too).

On a serious note, I'm totally with you on hating it when people way overhype conditions. I have a friend who religiously adds at least 4 to 5 inches to every snowfall. And for the east coast that's a pretty big deal. Used to be annoying but we all just make fun of him for it now.

I must say, a snorkel would have been helpful at Vail today. Though more helpful would have been a gun to skip the chair 5 line. Front side all day after 845 oh yeah.

Bro you live in Denver. City slickers don't talk like that. Bet you spend more time on 70 then you do on the hill.

Your statement here is invalid, deep snow =/= good terrain. Breck and Keystone by far have the worst terrain in summit county.

Breck has some of the best terrain in summit if you know where it is actually. E-chair, lake chutes, windows, needles eye, and the new 6 chair hiking are all steeper than everything at vail, keystone, and beaver creek with the exception of some small areas like stone creek and a couple vail runs.
