Damn. Yeah, hoping with the "low" temps forcasted this week we're able to put down enough to open with a decent park. At this point just opening would be sweet and any features a bonus.

It sucks but it's november and shit happens. Maybe we'll all get some damn snow in Dec

You could build a dry slope. I built one for the summer and it works really well. Also, if you have a ice rink near you you could get their shavings and try to ride on that. Both take a lot of effort and it may not be the skiing you want but it is better than nothing.

Colorado is not getting shit right now, a few weeks ago I went up early with ski patrol and we had more snow then than now. I wonder if we might temporarily close. Also today we had record high temps for this time of year.

60 degrees on tuesday
Mid to high 40s all the way through next week. No sign of things cooling down either.


Getting really sick of seasons like this.

I thot 70 was bs but apparently correct. the website says 54" base, 123" ytd (but most melted so that makes sense). still seems like a lot
RyhanToo bad Targhee lacks the terrain.
it has some decent short pitches but I agree-- targhee is for old people, children, and dirtbags who can't budget living and skiing JH

decent base in the tetons and 4-7 inches expected today into tomorrow. JHMR was spring conditions last few days. Targhee is essentially flat idk how people can stay interested in entire seasons nvm years there, but enjoy your nearly empty mountain

Out here in the midwest it hasn't even snowed one time yet (at least where I live). It's so brutal, last year I was skiing before thanksgiving and now it's looking like it'll never snow. How are you guys coping with it?

Wasting all my time on NS and buying shit. Waxing and tuning my skis. Planning trips. Working out. Going to work. Reading magazines. Watching videos. Browsing Instagram photos. Battlefield. Trying to forget how our president thinks global warming is fake.

We're trying to open friday. 3rd opening weekend attempt. Luckily kirkwood was sick yesterday. Got some pow laps in. Riding heavenly in a few. Hoping its not too rough.

I just want the season to get going even if we dont get much snow for a while. Open with just enougj is better than closed.
