Yeah webcams at Telluride and Purg look like they're both getting dumped on pretty well right now.MAS444 said:
Looks like Telluride has only had an inch or two in last 24 - but it's been snowing pretty good for the last few hours and will supposedly pile up over the next day or so.

I'll be staying in Hood River on Wednesday night. Looks like it has a ton of restaurants and breweries to choose from. Any favorites?

Thanks for posting. This is very helpful.JustPanda said:
Here's a really good chart for ski widths across conditions along w ski length by ski type and ability level along with a description of what I keep talking about w turn radiuses and ski profiles.
I thought you guys would find them interesting.
I'm 172.8 cm and my all mountain skis are 181s, my middle all mountain POW set is a 184, and my POW setup is a 188. So that's charts pretty damn accurate.
Edited to add: for the side cut, when it uses hourglass, you can substitute parabolic if you remember those days. More parabolic, tighter TR, less parabolic = longer.

Nice! Yall've got a ton more than Telluride has just up the road. Crazy how that works.
My old man yells at clouds soapbox for one second: all ski marketing nowadays says bigger is better. People who ski once every other year getting pushed into big mountain, great fat powder skis, and I'd venture to guess that at least 75% of the people I know and see on mountain have skis for the conditions they want rather than what they actually see. The other 25% are race kids.MAS444 said:
Very helpful and timely for me as I'm planning on buying my first skis this year in Telluride. Any advice or recommendations? I'm 6'1 and a very intermediate skier. I mainly ski blue groomers but would like to possibly push it just a little bit as I start to ski more (didn't really ski growing up)....and try to keep up with our kids as they pass us up (we started them very early). This will be my only pair of skis for now so will use them in powder, ice, etc...whatever the conditions may be. But will mainly be used in Telluride and nearby.
Any recs on brands, models, size, shape, etc.?
Will be purchasing at Bootdoctors/Christies in MV.
