Yea raging Buffalo is about 45 min south of me, I have never been there, but the rope tow sends me good vibes... (no lines lots of laps)
I didn't even think skiers went there until last year.... It is definitely snowboard infested, but I used to board so idc
Yea, Ik accu weather is not accurate for their month predictions, but it gives a good estimate, and I don't like it... but I guess I'd rather have shitty predictions and they go wrong and we get the snow and cold than they predict that and it never shows up.

Very true about accuweather. Judging from your previous post you are close to Wilmot, however I feel it'd be so easy to progress at raging buffalo. Its all park features, and a rope tow.
I might get to ski tomorrow if my skis get finished getting mounted today. Otherwise my first day will be Saturday at Granite Peak. My penis gets tingly just thinking about it.
qyleberryWish those places weren't seven hours away from me... they look insane!
Crystal is great, it has a decent park, but really good gladed skiing that people don't ski in no matter what time of year. I went presidents day 2014, and 2015 and the whole hill was skied out but the trees out back. The snow was actually good too.
JohnThatWasTitsYeah I'll go to Alpine if they do, Hmu if You go
I will, I'm not sure they will though, its suppose to be 40 and they aren't blowing snow today and its 35 high.... It will be fun as hell if they do open

Yeah I hope they open, would be great to get out this weekend
john18061806Spirit was blowing and it was 33 degrees so they were just kinda soaking the base. I feel like it's gonna be pretty friggen icy tomorrow for opening.
Do you live around here? Confused because your profile says your from steamboat...
sorry for stalking hahah
It's all good. I live a bit north of Chicago. I say steamboat cause whenever I go out west I typically go there. It's been my favorite mountain out of all the mountains I've skied. So I call it home.

My friend goes out there once a year, I heard it sick!
Devils head is tempting me, I want to ski so bad right now
JohnThatWasTitswhat time ?
I'm either going to Cascade,Devils Head, or if it's open Alpine
Alpine is probably opening saturday. I might change plans and go to cascade. Depending on the distance. Im leaving 3:30 after school so I'd probably get there at 6:30-7.
